Pottery is mainly of three types.

Earthenware used for pottery tableware and decorative objects with a composition of 25% ball clay, 28% kaolin, 32% quartz and 15% feldspar.

Stoneware, used in making hotelware, kitchenware, cookware, garden products, electrical, chemical and laboratory ware, will be having a composition of plastic fire clays 0-100% , ball clays 0-15%, quartz, 0-30% feldspar and chamotte 0 -15%.

Porcelain is also considered as pottery made by heating raw materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 °C (2,192 °F) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F).
