Stoneware is a rather broad term for pottery or other ceramics fired at a relatively high temperature.A modern technical definition is a vitreous or semi-vitreous ceramic made primarily from stoneware clay or non-refractory fire clay.Whether vitrified or not, it is nonporous (does not soak up liquids);it may or may not be glazed. Historically, across the world, it has usually been developed after earthenware and before porcelain, as kiln and has often been used for high-quality wares.
