Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> A hard, translucent, and white coloured ceramic is called porcelain. It is made by using the white clay called kaolin, found in China.

$\bullet$In this method, glass, granite, and the mineral feldspar are mixed with kaolin and kneaded with water.
$\bullet$The resulting mixture is shaped and fired in a kiln at a temperature of 1200 °C to 1450 °C. On firing again after glazing, beautiful articles of porcelain are obtained.
