Pottery

Pottery is a term used to describe and catalogue material of this kind, established as a heading by Getty Research Institute, OCLC VIAF. Generally, all ware made of ceramic, which is any of various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at a high temperature. In specialized usage, it typically does not include porcelain, which is a type of ceramic ware made of a refractory white clay, or "kaolin," and a feldspathic rock, that react when fired so the clay serves to hold the shape of the object and the rock fuses into a natural glass. It sits within the wider heading of ceramic ware (visual works). The heading is held on record by Getty Research Institute, OCLC VIAF. 2 cited statements stand behind this entry, drawn from 2 verified sources, corroborated by 2 independent institutional witnesses.
