In which we make things out of clay

pottery (noun) - pots, dishes, and other articles made of earthenware or baked clay. Pottery can be broadly divided into earthenware, porcelain, and stoneware.
ceramic (noun) - pots and other articles made from clay hardened by heat.
earthenware (noun) - pottery made of clay fired to a porous state that can be made impervious to liquids by the use of a glaze.
