Classification of Pottery.
The Word pottery in its widest sense, and as used in this
Report, is a very comprehensivc term, including all fictile
productions of which clay is the cliief material. This wide
ränge of producta may be grouped under two grand divisions
—the Eartliy and the Vitreous. Of the first, ordinary
earthenware and faieuce are examples; and of the second,
porcelain or china. The cliief characteristics of the eartliy
division are, as the name iudicates, an eartliy substance,
porosity, infusibility, opacity and comparative softness; of
the vitreous, a vitreous substance, fusibility, trauslucency
and comparative hardness.
