Pottery and Porcelain Wares

Fired clay wares and the glazes and decoration that gave them their names, from hard white porcelain, called china, through blue and white painted pottery, celadon green glaze, Dutch Delftware tin glaze and Italian majolica to metallic lustreware. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as a type or style of pottery, porcelain or glazed earthenware. It excludes bricks, tiles and other building ceramics, which belong with construction materials.
