Earthenware can be decorated with an underglaze. This will be applied before the earthenware is baked for the second time. The decoration will combine with the glaze layer when baked and hence burn in.
Modifications are then no longer possible. In Italy, France, Scandinavia and Spain this type of earthenware is called majolica. In the Netherlands it is called Delft blue or Delft faience. In the U. The word faience origins from Faenza, a village in Italy where potteries were renowned in the middle of the fifteenth century. European majolica as an art, began to develop about years ago and continues to gain popularity.
Faience from the name of the Italian city of Faenza, a well-known place of production — ceramic products facing tiles, architectural details, utensils, sanitary ware, etc.
The earthenware shard is denser than ceramic, but less dense than porcelain and does not have its whiteness and transparency. If there is a glaze on the rim — you have faience in front of you porcelain products do not glaze because of the technology of production on the rim of the bottom!
If there is no glaze — drop a drop of water: on faience it will absorb in a few seconds into the shard. There is still an old sure way: porcelain always rings, even with a slight tapping, the sound of faience will always be deaf and low. Stone ceramics — refractory, opaque, forming a solid crusted crock of gray or light brown color.
Tableware from the ceramic mass is usually covered with a transparent crystalline or matt glaze, often decorated with a delicate relief. Modern stone masses often imitate a natural stone, for example, granite. Used stone pottery for the production of refractory dishes, massive pots, garden and park sculptures.
In China, the appearance of the ceramic mass preceded the invention of porcelain. Porcelain — the peak of the ceramic achievements of mankind, can be conditionally divided into a soft semi-porcelain and solid. Their main difference is not in the hardness of the composition, as one might think, but in the firing temperature.
In addition, in soft porcelain more diverse substances, giving it additional qualities — for example, whiteness and translucence. Variety of soft porcelain:. It contains bone ash, rich in calcium. Soft porcelain is often used for the production of expensive thin-walled translucent utensils, art products. High-temperature, used for everyday dishes, vases, figurines, figurines and sculptural groups, decor items for the home, in technology.
A variety of porcelain products, in which their surface is not covered with glaze and not painted. At the same time, the velvety surface of the biscuit excellently emphasizes the texture and warmth of figures and figurines made of it. The whiteness and firmness of the porcelain shard allow the widest range of decoration methods to be used: decoration with stucco decoration, coating with a wide range of glazes, underglaze and overglaze painting, painting and plating with gold and platinum:.
Performed on unglazed raw or burned potato, followed by glaze coating. The pattern, usually, has soft contours and soft colors, so a small group of pigments withstand the subsequent high-temperature firing. The technique of such a painting requires high skill: because of the porosity of the cranium, the error is almost impossible to correct.
So if you hold porcelain in front of a strong enough light source, you will be able to see the light through the porcelain, while faience remains opaque. Another characteristic that distinguishes faience from porcelain is the color combinations of the underglaze paints.
Faience is often far more colorful than porcelain. This is due to porcelain being burned at a higher temperature than faience, which destroys the color materials.
This is why you often see porcelain blue-painted as this color material can withstand much higher temperatures. The porcelain figurines and porcelain services in more colors are normally painted above the glaze.
Overglaze paint does have the disadvantage that the colors are worn of much easier, which is also the reason that underglaze porcelain has much more durable decorations. Today new ovens and techniques for burning the porcelain and glaze has led a large color scale for underglaze porcelain than earlier.
Due to the difference in burning techniques of respectively faience and porcelain there has historically been great difference in the costs of producing the two. Faience have been the cheapest to produce due to the lower burning temperature that needed to be achieved.
Thus faience has often been used to make objects for daily use, while porcelain was for occasional use. Faience more often get cracks in the surface glaze and following discoloration in the surface due to aging, while porcelain is less affected over time. Thus porcelain is more resistant to age. Porcelain is highly acid and base proof, highly electrically insolating and pressure proof, but not shockproof. Porcelain has often been used for insolating electrical systems.
Porcelain and faience have very different development histories. The story of porcelain is the most commonly known. It was first created in China around the 7th century and was only produced in in Eastern Asia up until the 17th century.
During the Ming dynasty porcelain was an important export commodity. This ended when the porduction medthod was duplicated in Saxony in Germany, afterwhich the European porcelain industry arose.
Porcelain has its name from the Italian word porcellana , which is the Cowry shell, due to the similarities of porcelain with these shells. Faience has a more complicated history than porcelain. Faience is not a word with a completely clear meaning as there are two different groups of stoneware that the name is used for.
Classic faience was developed as far back as Assyria, Babylonia and Egypt and later spread throughout the Persian empire. It came to Europe through Greece and Italy. This early faience was just basic glazed stoneware that became waterproof due to the glaze. Different types of glaze was developed throughout history, but the basis of the name Faience comes from the production of faience in the Italian city of Faenza, which let to the name Faience.
Today the word faience is most commonly associated with the faience developed in England in by Josiah Wedgwood and afterwards spread across Europe and became what is most commonly known as Faience today. The Production of this faience is very much like that of porcelain with a whiteglowing mass, which is cooled and painted and then glazed.
It differs from porcelain by a lower burning temperature and the material is not bound as tightly as in the porcelain. A notable Danish producer of faience is the factory Aluminia. Items in stock are normally shipped immediately within business days. When your payment has been confirmed by us, you will receive an order confirmation. Should the time of delivery be delayed beyond normal i.
By delivery time we mean the time from the order is confirmed to the order is shipped from DPH Trading. Not the time between the order is made to the time you receive the order. We are therefore depending of the various suppliers, dealers and collectors and the time of delivery is only an estimate.
