  "term": "Earthenware",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A type of porous, non-vitreous pottery that has been fired at a relatively low temperature, below 1,200 degrees Celsius. Because it is not fired to the point of vitrification, the resulting body is permeable to water unless it is sealed with a glaze. Earthenware is opaque and softer than stoneware or porcelain, making it easier to scratch.",
