How can I tell if it's stoneware or earthenware?

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.
