John Goodwin, East Liverpool, founded his factory in 1844. If your piece is marked 1844 (he died 1875), it is from his early manufacture. Depending on the hallmark. Later marks for Goodwin would read "Goodwin Brothers" (1877 onward to 1913). The marks on John Goodwin pottery typically has the words "Estd 1844" with leafing around it under a banner.

China is made up of these materials; Kaolin, Feldspar, Quartz, and ball clay (petunse). Among these Kaolin is the most component and is white in color however feldspar is the hardest element of all as it is rock but the translucence is brought about by Mullite a rare silicate material Al2O32SiO2 or 2Al2O3 SiO2 which matches with the formula of kaolin AI2Si2O5(OH)4. However Kaolin is soft and usually white and because it contains the Mullite a translucent element it answers your question as it is said to usually be soft this time around it could be hard due to other factors including geographical effects and weather plus time.

No. If it is a fluid, it would not fit the requirement of a mineral in being a solid.

Different minerals produce different colour powders (know as the mineral's 'streak') when scratched. For instance, hematite has a red streak, calcite has a white streak and graphite has a black streak. There is also variation within some minerals, depending on impurities.

It should be noted that some minerals are too hard to be scratched by porcelain, and will instead powder the porcelain, producing a misleading white streak.

The advantages of having an electric kiln are many. Electric kilns are easy to operate. Not a lot of fuel manipulation is needed. Also, electric kilns are a bit cheaper to buy than gas kilns. The price range for small gas kilns are usually between $1200 and $2500 while the price range for small electric kiln are between $1000 and $1500.

Terracotta is an earthenware clay. It contains, in addition to the usual clay minerals of alumnia and silica, a fair amount of iron oxide, which gives it the characteristic red colour.

One reason pottery is important today, because shards found in archeological sites can be carbon-dated, revealing the time of use; therefore revealing when the the people of that particular settlement lived.

The story opens abruptly, with a startling line: "They discovered the girl's head protruding from the mudpit, eyes wide open, calling soundlessly." As soon becomes clear, the girl is thirteen-year-old Azucena, one of thousands of villagers who lived on the slopes of a mountain in Latin America. A volcanic eruption has created enough heat to melt the ice on the mountain slopes, leading in turn to tremendous mudslides that have buried entire towns and killed more than twenty thousand people. The narrator, who is never named, watches pictures of the devastation on the television news, described by her lover, Rolf Carle, the first television reporter on the scene.

Carlé and his assistant film the first attempts to rescue the girl, but when volunteers are unable to throw a rope to her, he wades up to his waist in the mud to tie the rope under her arms himself. He smiles a charming smile and assures her that she will soon be out. But when the volunteers begin to pull on the rope, Azucena screams in pain; the mud has created such a strong suction around her that she cannot be pulled free. She can feel some kind of debris holding her legs, and while others suggest that it must be the rubble from her crushed house, she insists that it is the bodies of her dead brothers and sisters.

The narrator has watched Carle countless times as he has covered important stories, and she has always admired his ability to be strong and detached in the face of terrible events. This time, however, she can tell by watching his eyes and hearing his voice that his objectivity is slipping, and that he is responding emotionally to Azucena. The catch in his voice is one she has never heard before. Abandoning his task as a reporter, Carlé tries everything he can think of to get the girl free, but with no success. He manages to get a tire slipped under her shoulders so that she will not slip down any further in the mud. Finally he radios for a pump, with which he could drain the water around the girl, but none will be available until the next day. He stays beside the girl all night, giving her sips of coffee to warm her and telling her entertaining stories of his adventures to keep her calm.

Back in the city, the narrator keeps her watch, moving to the television station so that she can see Carlé's satellite transmissions unedited. She phones all of the important government and business people she can think of to try to locate a pump and makes appeals on radio and television, but to no avail. Watching the screen, she feels Carle's pain and frustration, and weeps for the girl. She sees that Carle has reached a kind of tiredness he has never reached before, and that he has "completely forgotten the camera."

Meanwhile, the story has been picked up by other news agencies, and a crowd of reporters and cameras has surrounded Azucena and Carle, sending pictures of the girl to millions of people around the world. A doctor briefly examines the girl, and a priest blesses her, but no one in the crowd can do anything to help her. Although the area is littered with generators and lights and wires and other technical equipment for the television crews, no one can locate a pump.

As the second day closes, Azucena and Carlé are still together, talking quietly and praying. Carlé has run out of stories of his own, and turns first to the stories the narrator has told him, and then to Austrian folk songs he learned as a child. While he continues to talk to the girl, he remembers scenes from his youth that he has repressed for decades: burying bodies at a concentration camp, his father's abuse, his retarded sister's fear, his mother's humiliation. He does not share these memories with the girl, but turns them over in his mind and examines them as he has never done before. He realizes that like Azucena he is trapped, and that his brave adventures have been a way to escape his fear. His experience with the girl has exposed him to feelings he has pushed aside, and he is closer to her emotionally than he has ever been to anyone else.

On the morning of the third day, Azucena andCarlé are both cold, hungry, and exhausted. The president of the Republic comes to be filmed with the girl. He praises the girl for being "an example to the nation" and promises to personally send a pump. But it is too late. As she watches on the screen, the narrator can tell the precise moment when the girl and the reporter give up hoping for a rescue, the moment that they accept the inevitability of death. For both, it is a moment of peace; they stop struggling. The narrator has managed to locate a pump and arranged a way to ship it, but on the third night the girl dies. Carlé takes the tire away from under her arms, and she slips down under the mud.

The last scene of the story occurs afterCarlé has returned home. For some time he has not worked, but he has watched the film of himself and Azucena countless times, wondering what he might have done to help her. The narrator addresses him directly, assuring him that the wounds opened by his experience with the girl will heal in time.

clay is formed by weathering( hydrolysis,decomposition and hydration) of igneous rock which has feldspar as its major component.

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).

Reasonably, it depends on whether it is squidgy. =P
