The Shabti figures which were placed in Egyptian tombs to do the work of the dead, were made from various materials, including wax, clay, wood, stone, terracotta and rarely bronze or glass, but the most common material was faience.
According to Paul Nicholson in "Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology", Faience is a glazed non-clay ceramic material. It is composed mainly of crushed quartz or sand, with small amounts of lime and either natron or plant ash. This body is coated with a soda-lime-silica glaze that is generally a bright blue-green colour due the presence of copper.
In other words, it is a material very similar to our modern day tile, and is still used in parts of the world to form beads.
