Classification of Pottery.
The word pottery in its widest sense, and as used in this ■Report, is a very comprehensive term, including all fictile productions of which clay is the chief material. This wide range of products may be grouped under two grand divisions ~~-the Earthy and the Vitreous. Of the first, ordinary ea rthenware and faience are examples ; and of the second, Porcelain or china. The chief characteristics of the earthy ^vision are, as the name indicates, an earthy substance, P°rosity, infusibility, opacity and comparative softness; of vitreous, a vitreous substance, fusibility, translucency ail d comparative hardness.
