Earthenware is fired at the lowest temperature among the options listed. It is typically fired at temperatures ranging from about 1,830°F to 2,100°F (1,000°C to 1,150°C). In contrast, stoneware, porcelain, and Chinese porcelain are fired at significantly higher temperatures, making earthenware the least durable and porous option.

To distinguish between stoneware and earthenware, examine the clay's color and texture. Stoneware is typically denser, has a smooth surface, and is often gray or brown, while earthenware is more porous, softer, and usually reddish or terracotta in color. Additionally, you can check for a glazed finish; stoneware is usually fully vitrified and less likely to absorb water, whereas earthenware may be more absorbent. A simple water test—placing a few drops of water on the surface—can help; water will bead on stoneware but may soak into earthenware.
Another name for porcelain is stoneware. Porcelain is a type of stoneware that has the lowest absorption rate and is very hard and dense.
Stoneware does not chip easily, however, earthenware does and is often marketed as stoneware. As usual, the quality of the original piece also enhances it's durability (or lack thereof). The following link is helpful: http://stoneware.seeleys.com/html/what_is_stoneware.html
