What is the difference between porcelain and other clay?
Porcelain becomes glass-like which is the key to the facts below. If properly fired, the clay and glaze fuse together to become one clay-glaze layer, which makes it stronger than most other clay types. A simple way to know if porcelain is well fired, is to tap on the side. If it makes a lyrical ringing sound, chances are good that it is vitrified.
