Ceramic is one of the most ancient of human technologies so it is a very mature and basic technology.
Some think it was probably a matter of some of our ancestors noticing that the mud under the firepit, after long continuous use was hard, maintained its shape and could be used pretty effictvly to kill poor old Og in the next tribe or that pesky Mastadon.
The the women folks being far more civil & artistic started shaping the clay into bowls & cups & setting them in the fire to get the same effect of hardening, (To this day we call baking ceramics & porcelain; FIRING) creating the first tableservice for eight!
The only thing that terrorizes ceramic is grit and a poor foundation.
Put tile on a concreted sub floor & it will last forever, put it on a basic new home wooden sub floor & it will be cracking, popping loose & busting its grout apart in a few heat & cool season cycles.
