In terms of how these items are made, the process is pretty straightforward.  Clay is the key material used to create all sorts of ceramic wares. Clay is of course a natural material that comes from the ground and is the oldest known natural ceramic. It's used alongside earthen elements, powders and water to make household items.  Once shaped into the desired object, the clay prototype is then hardened inside an industrial kiln. The finished product is hard yet brittle, resistant to oxidation, long-lasting, and resistant to heat - all this makes ceramic the perfect material for durable dinnerware.
