<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 237088, member: 50&quot;]I&#039;m not really familiar with what these should look like other than what shows on Google. Maybe a photo would help someone, I&#039;m assuming they have no holes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it helps I can give you a little test we&#039;d use in archaeology. So, ceramic is a broad term covering things made of clay. Porcelain is a type of ceramic made of particular types of clay that can be fired at extremely high temperature that sort of fuses the material making it mostly impervious to water. Earthenware types are fired at lower temps and are more porous. (And of course lots of in-betweens)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, if you touch the unglazed part of a piece of porcelain to your tongue it shouldn&#039;t &quot;stick&quot;. If you touch an unglazed part of earthenware to your tongue it will &quot;stick&quot;, in that you can feel the suction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t know if that helps or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
