About Vitrified Glassware
Vitrified glassware refers to glass products that have undergone a process called vitrification, which transforms the material into a non-crystalline, amorphous solid.
This process involves heating the glass to high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it, resulting in a denser, stronger, and more durable material. Vitrified glassware is characterized by its low porosity, making it highly resistant to water absorption and chemical reactions. The vitrification process also enhances the glassware’s ability to withstand thermal shock and mechanical stress, making it less prone to cracking or shattering under normal use conditions.
About Stoneware
Stoneware is a type of high-fired ceramic pottery known for its durability, strength, and non-porous nature. It is typically fired at temperatures between 1,100°C and 1,300°C, resulting in a vitreous or semi-vitreous material. Stoneware is made primarily from stoneware clay or non-refractory fire clay. It is denser and more impermeable than earthenware but less translucent than porcelain.
About Porcelain
Porcelain is a highly valued ceramic material known for its strength, durability, and translucence. Originating in China, it’s made by firing a mixture of kaolin (white clay) and other materials like feldspar at temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 °C. Porcelain’s unique properties arise from vitrification and the formation of mullite during firing, resulting in a non-porous, glass-like finish. Historically prized for its delicacy and whiteness, porcelain has been an important part of art, industry, and daily life for centuries.
