<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 924700, member: 308"]I don't mean to discourage your exploration of the different types of ceramics but I've found it rarely helps me as a seller or collector to know the differences. I have often tried to understand the differences between the types of ceramics you mention but I do not have the background to understand the distinctions. I would suggest that if you would like to know about any given piece you have that you post it here on the board. There are some folks here that are excellent in identifying ceramic types and who can explain the manufacturing specifics and the chemistry involved if you are interested. I'm afraid such an understanding is beyond my capacity. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not sure why the composition of your potential treasure would matter. Whether pottery or porcelain most pieces are collected for reasons other than their ceramic classification. I would recommend you post it here and let the kind people here evaluate your find.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
