The word 'ceramic' has its origin from the Greek word 'Keramikos' meaning potter's clay. Stronger, harder, as well as less permeable to fluid objects are usually made from clay and it's an age old tradition. Clay is commonly used for making pots, tiles, and bricks. The ceramics are usually made by heating natural earth until the form changes and it becomes harder and non-porous. Ceramics are produced at high temperature which drives off water chemically bound in the earth and any water that soaked into it. True ceramics appear rarely in the nature as a result the world depends almost entirely on man made porcelain products for it various needs. However, with the changing times, the use of ceramics has also changed.

With this technique, artisans could use different colors on porcelain after it has been baked.
