Earthenware, Steingut in German, is a porous ware. Its body cannot fully sinter during firing, stays porous and is not watertight without a glaze, which is why earthenware is usually glazed. Stoneware, by contrast, fires dense and is watertight even unglazed. The two are often confused, and the English term stoneware refers to the dense material, not to earthenware.
What this means for your bowl
- Temperature alone does not decide: The firing ranges of earthenware and stoneware overlap. What matters is whether the body sinters densely.
- Open pores: Unglazed areas absorb molasses. When it seeps out again in use, the trade calls it bleeding.
- Boiling clean: Lower the bowl gently into boiling water and boil it thoroughly, then let it dry well.
Many earthenware bowls also list Stone Clay, ceramics or a clay body such as white clay. Earthenware bowls come from brands including Alpaca, Hookain, N!CE, Lavart Hookah and Cosmo Bowl.
