What state is pottery ware most fragile?! EASY 10 POINTS!?

Question

Is it greenware, bisqueware, or glazedware?

Greenware is pottery that hasn't been fired, Bisqueware is unglazed, fired clay, and Glazedware is pottery which has been glazed, and it melts to form a glasslike surface.

I thought my teacher said it WASN'T glazedware as most people think, but it's bisqueware.
Anyone know?
Thanks (: EASY TEN TO THE FIRST ONE!!!

Answer 1

Greenware would be most fragile. You can break it easily with your hand, whereas with the other 2 you would not be able to break it without hitting it against something.



Go to the link below and scroll down to the "Drying and Firing Pottery" heading, it will answer your question in the 2nd paragraph.

Answer 2

The answer is greenware. However, you can have greenware (unfired clay) that is wet, leatherhard or bone dry. Bone dry is the most fragile. You can barely touch a thin rim on a bone dry piece and it can break. The strongest greenware is leather hard -- best state to transport greenware.



Both bisque and glaze-fired pottery is stronger because the firing has changed the structure of the piece.



As a potter and teacher, I have seen many bone dry pieces break when not handled carefully.

Answer 3

bisqueware
