clayish
Like pottery material
Somewhat resembling or having qualities of clay—sticky, dense, or easily molded.
The term describes soil that has clay-like properties without being pure clay: The garden soil is clayish and holds water too long.
Less common than "clayey," which serves the same purpose.
