Question

Which type of clay bodies required high temperature firing? A. Raku Body
B. Porcelain
C. Terracotta
D. Stone ware
E. Earthen ware

• A. C, A and B Only
• B. A, B and E Only
• C. D and A Only
• D. B and D Only

Hint:

Logic Tip: Porcelain and stoneware are high-fire ceramic bodies.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Different clay bodies require different firing temperatures depending on their composition and vitrification properties.
•

Step 1:
Porcelain requires very high firing temperatures generally between: \[ 1200^\circ C - 1400^\circ C \] Thus: \[ B \text{ is correct} \]
•

Step 2:
Stoneware also requires high-temperature firing for vitrification. Thus: \[ D \text{ is correct} \]
•

Step 3:
Raku, Terracotta, and Earthenware are generally low-temperature firing bodies. \[ \boxed{\text{(4) B and D Only}} \]
