Based on ceramics made from red and brown clay mixed with silica, alabaster, feldspar, and water.

A long burning process will makes the clay (any kind, ordinary or Chinese) become drier, harder, and denser. Ceramics can actually be made with a very long process of burning, but this is not much done by the producers.
