The classic triaxial whiteware body consists of

  • A.kaolin, water and organic binder
  • B.clay, feldspar and quartz
  • C.alumina, zirconia and silicon carbide
  • D.limestone, gypsum and iron ore

Answer: B

Correct answer: clay, feldspar and quartz

Porcelain, vitreous china and earthenware differ chiefly in the proportions of these three.
