Porcelain is made by blending clay with other substances and firing it at high temperatures so that it achieves vitreous, or glasslike, qualities. True porcelain is slightly translucent, nonporous, and very hard, making it suitable for a range of applications, from plates to electrical insulators. There are three main categories of porcelain: hard paste or true porcelain, soft paste or china, and bone china.
