stoneware
Kiln-fired ceramic
Stoneware is a type of ceramic fired at high temperatures, making it denser and more durable than earthenware but less refined than porcelain.
It's the workhorse of functional pottery—sturdy enough for everyday dishes, crocks, and jugs: The coffee mugs are stoneware, so they're dishwasher safe.
Stoneware typically has a slightly rough texture and earthy appearance.
