Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery". In a one- person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. The word "ceramics" comes from the Greek keramikos (κεραμικος), meaning "pottery", which in turn comes from keramos (κεραμος) meaning "potter's clay".The Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way.

275px Dental porcelain (also known as dental ceramic) is a dental material used by dental technicians to create biocompatible lifelike dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. Evidence suggests they are an effective material as they are biocompatible, aesthetic, insoluble and have a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. For certain dental prostheses, such as three-unit molars porcelain fused to metal or in complete porcelain group, zirconia-based restorations are recommended. The word "ceramic" is derived from the Greek word keramos, meaning "potter's clay".

The central hall of Goldney Grotto, an ornate feature of the 18th-century gardens at Goldney House, Clifton, contains columns covered with the crystals. The diamonds were often referred to "as examples of worthless but deceptive brilliance." Thomas Carlyle, in a letter dated 1828, used them in a simile disparaging the latest work of the poet Thomas Moore, as being "resplendent with gold-leaf and Bristol diamonds, and inwardly made of mere Potter's-clay." Bristol Diamonds became popular souvenirs for visitors to the spa at Hotwells in the early nineteenth century, and were also used for jewellery, although Benjamin Silliman, a nineteenth-century American traveller, considered them overpriced.

" Clay doorknobs were old too. Hence, "the only novelty which could be claimed on their part was the adaptation of this old contrivance to knobs of potter's clay or porcelain; in other words, the novelty consisted in the substitution of the clay knob in the place of one made of metal or wood."52 U.S. at 265.
