Ceramic is heat-resistant and durable – and the base material is types of clay. It has been used by humans to make practical objects for thousands of years. Stoneware is a ceramic type that is often made a little thicker to be more resistant to shocks. It burns at a high temperature, resulting in a dense structure – and the naturally muted colours are often combined with a matt glaze to add a rustic expression.
