Is faience a ceramic?
1 Answer
Yes, faience is a ceramic. Artisans typically form pieces out of crushed quartz or sand rather than clay. The pottery receives a layer of tin glaze after firing. Then, craftsmen hand-paint the surface. Find a large selection of faience serveware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
