Coffee mugs - The Technical Stuff
You are considering purchasing a quantity of promotional logo'd or corporate style coffee mugs, and need to understand what the difference is between the various production methods.Earthenware
From the earliest times, earthenware has been the most popular choice for coffee mugs. Basically composed of clay, often blended clays, and baked hard, the degree of hardness depending on the intensity of the heat.
An earthenware vessel is porous and so a glaze is applied to render it waterproof.
Ceramics
An all embracing phrase misused to mean pottery and china.
The definition of ceramics is widely accepted to describe pottery and china in all its forms plus industrial ceramics, bricks and tiles.
Bone China
Bone china is a combination of typical ceramics clays and calcinated bone, the resulting ware being immensely strong but also translucent in fired form. Not to be confused with porcelain, which is derived through a much different mix of clays.
Bone China has a timeless appeal. It’s delicate appearance belies a durable product which, when decorated, graces the boardroom or exhibition stand with ease. It is outstanding when presented as a promotional gift.
