Stoneware sits between earthenware and porcelain in that it is

  • A.neither vitrified nor fired
  • B.identical to earthenware in every way
  • C.vitrified but not translucent
  • D.porous and translucent

Answer: C

It is fired high enough to close the porosity but contains too much iron and other impurity to be translucent. Its toughness makes it the traditional choice for kitchen and tableware in heavy use. Its density also makes it resistant to chipping in service.
