The Plethora Of Beauty In Ceramics

Our collection of ceramic pottery pieces at Pottery King are a superior choice amongst all others. We chose non-organic clay material for our pottery collection because of its strength and natural appeal. No matter what shape, size, or color a client needs, we can often supply it. From ceramics to glassware and everything in between, we have all pottery needs covered. Currently, in our warehouse, we offer stylish earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain ceramics. The beauty of ceramics comes in all shapes and sizes, and we invite everyone to come to explore it.

How To Choose The Ceramic Pottery For Plants

Our Pottery King warehouse holds various glazed and unglazed ceramic styles, ranging from cylinders to squares, tapered shapes, and orchid pottery. One of our largest ceramic vessels that we offer is the porcelain fish pot. This pot comes in black and white and is smooth to the touch. If you’re in the market for a smaller pottery piece, we also offer cylinder and taper round shapes, which come in various glazed colors. The glaze provides substantial protection that’s perfect for the root of any plants placed inside. We also offer glazed square pots in our online store that can come with or without holes for an inspired orchid planter.

What Are the 3 Types of Ceramics Pottery?

There are 3 distinct types of ceramic pottery.

• Earthenware
• Stoneware
• Porcelain

Let’s explore the differences of each.

Earthenware

Made of clay and heated at a low temperature, earthenware is a very porous type of pottery that allows air and water to flow through the vessel. The absorbent material makes earthenware an excellent choice for plants since they need ample air to thrive. Because this type of ceramic is composed of clay, earthenware is brittle and means that individuals should treat it with a high level of care. This type of pottery is often glazed to make the vessel more sturdy so that water doesn’t soak into it. This pottery can also be glazed, putting a hard coating on it that adds beauty and protection to the surface.

Stoneware

Just like all other pottery, stoneware is made out of clay. Stoneware, however, is fired at a higher temperature than earthenware, which produces a more substantial ceramic vessel and, as the name suggests, has a stone-like finish. Unlike unglazed earthenware, stoneware is entirely waterproof and does not require glazing. After firing, the glaze can be added onto the pottery but often is done solely for decoration. For an earthenware look with added durability, stoneware is the perfect option for any project.

Porcelain

The clay for our porcelain pottery is refined and mixed with different minerals before being baked at a high temperature. Due to the extreme heat, porcelain pottery becomes a hard ceramic with a white, glossy coating. This type of pottery is less porous and doesn’t absorb as much water as earthenware and stoneware. Some refer to porcelain as “fine china” as it was one of the earliest forms of porcelain produced.

The Advantages Of Ceramic Pottery

When choosing to use ceramic pottery in individual or wholesale quantities, these hard vessels can add style and durability to a design. Ceramic is porous and, therefore, will allow the root of the plant enough air to breathe. The pot can also act as a protective barrier to keep the roots from certain environmental factors and retain their moisture. All of the ceramic pottery that we provide at Pottery King is durable and, depending on shape and size, can withstand wind gusts and keep upright. Because the plant doesn’t fall over easily, it will help the plant avoid any disturbance caused by breaking apart.
