Your questio...Hi Stregata, Thanks for writing in. Your questions are so right on. Greenware refers to ceramic clay that has dried but not yet been fired in the kiln. Stain refers to chemicals mixed with water that color the ceramic clay body. In the pic you can see browns and teal greens. These are from the use of stains on the bisqued ceramic ware. Bisqued means that the clay has been fired at least one time, usually to a temperature of about 1850 degrees. The clay is still absorbent enough after that temperature firing to accept stains and glazes. When clay is fired to the cones 6 and higher it becomes more vitrified and does not accept the glaze very well. Hope this helps.Mary Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107181280006153915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691375.post-76022265496244189492010-11-03T04:52:11.380-04:002010-11-03T04:52:11.380-04:00Hi Penny, Thanks for stopping by and for the kind ...Hi Penny, Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.

I guess if I was a ceramic artist, I would know what green ware and stain are.
