Earthenware generally means a ceramic material which has a variety of uses ranging from pottery, tableware to decorative objects. The compositions vary to a great extent among countries and also among individual makers. The general composition consists of 25% ball clay, 28% kaolin, 32% quartz and 15% feldspar.

Earthenware is among the oldest materials to be used in pottery. Red clay is the most commonly available and most commonly used. But white and buff colored clay earthenware is also becoming popular these days. Earthenware is made by heating the clay at a range of 1000 and 1150 degrees Celsius (1800 and 2100 degrees Fahrenheit) and gloss fired from 950 to 1050 °C (1750 to 1925 °F). However it can also be low fired and high gloated. This is especially done by studio potters at workshops where biscuit temperatures are 900 to 1050 °C (1650 to 1920 °F) with gloss temperatures in the range of 1040 to 1150 °C (1900 to 2100 °F). The raw materials and the desired characteristics of the finished ware influence the range of temperatures. The raw materials also decide the color of the body. It can be anything between white to red. The higher temperatures can cause the earthenware to bloat. Due to firing the body becomes porous and opaque. Earthenware can also be described as pottery that has not been fired to the point where it gets vitrified and is more porous and coarser than stoneware and porcelain. In order to make it less porous the body can be covered completely or decorated with a liquid clay mixture (called "slip") or it can be glazed.
