Although the industry produces a fairly limited variety of goods when compared to others, ceramic goods are naturally worth three to ten times the [[Item value|value]] of similar goods made from common [[Stone industry|stone]] or [[Wood industry|wood]], making them a lucrative option for wealth creation. Ceramic goods are divided into three distinct categories (called wares) based on the raw materials used. [[Earthenware]] items are produced from generic [[clay]], [[stoneware]] from [[fire clay]] and [[porcelain]] from the stone [[kaolinite]]. In order to ensure watertight [[earthenware]] containers ([[jug]]s and [[large pot]]s), as well as to increase overall item value, [[earthenware]] items require an additional production step called [[Glazer|glazing]].

[[Pearlash]], a critical production material for the [[glass industry]] is also created as a crossover material from the ceramic industry. |
