Different types of tableware

Crockery can be made from many different types of materials. Think of bone china, earthenware or porcelain. Each material has its own style and charm. And each tableware must be treated differently and has its own pros and cons. We will give you some explanation about the following materials:

Ceramic tableware

Ceramics comes from the Greek word keramos. Keramos means drinking vessel. Ceramics is a collective name for different types of fired clay. Think of porcelain, earthenware or bone china. Porcelain wasn't used in Europe until after the 18th century, because they couldn't make it at first. Before that, only pottery was used.

Earthenware tableware

Pottery was created long before Christ. Pottery has been used to make tableware for centuries. Because there is now a glaze layer over the earthenware, it is many times stronger than before. Earthenware tableware is heavier than porcelain, but gives a natural look. The advantages of earthenware tableware are that this material is easy to keep clean, it can be put in the dishwasher and microwave and is thicker than porcelain. The earthenware tableware is available in different colours, shapes and sizes.

Porcelain tableware

Porcelain is often used for catering tableware. Porcelain tableware is made by mixing different substances into clay and this is fired at a high temperature. Porcelain tableware is a finer type of clay than earthenware. Thanks to kaolin, porcelain tableware can also withstand a beating. Porcelain tableware is a lighter material than earthenware, perfect as chic catering tableware.

Bone China tableware

Bone China, also known as bone porcelain, is a more luxurious porcelain of very good quality. This type of porcelain is mixed with calcium phosphate, which creates a very strong porcelain. Bone China tableware has a certain yellowish, white color which gives the tableware a luxurious look. Bone China tableware is thinner in material.
