The most important raw material for ceramics is [[clay]], which is a type of [[soil]] that appears in [[layer]]s. Finding out whether or not you have clay is easy: unlike the base material for the glass industry, [[sand]], clay is reported as either "clay" or "shallow clay" in the [[embark]] screen, and if you want to establish a ceramic industry you should have clay available. What type of clay you have available cannot be determined ahead of time. | The most important raw material for ceramics is [[clay]], which is a type of [[soil]] that appears in [[layer]]s.

The chief disadvantage of earthenware is that it must be [[glaze]]d in order to store liquids, a process that is described below. |
Fire clay, which has a value multiplier of four, is used to make [[stoneware]], does not need glaze to store liquids, and is more valuable despite not being more difficult to produce. If you have fire clay, it is a free 33% value boost to your ceramic industry. | Fire clay, which has a value multiplier of four, is used to make [[stoneware]], does not need glaze to store liquids, and is more valuable despite not being more difficult to produce.
