whiteware
Light-colored ceramic goods
Whiteware is ceramic or pottery with a white or light-colored body, including porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware used for dishes, tiles, and plumbing fixtures.
The term distinguishes these products from darker clay bodies like terracotta.
In archaeology, whiteware often refers specifically to mass-produced 19th-century tableware: The dig uncovered fragments of whiteware and bottle glass.
