Many people paid attention to the fact that products from faience and porcelain are very similar in their appearance. Meanwhile, few people can distinguish between these two materials, although the differences are very obvious. They need to know in order not to fall for the tricks of scammers.
Material Features
Porcelain consists of kaolin. This material is hard and sonorous. In addition, if kaolin is broken, then on the kink you can see a white shiny surface, which tends to reflect, like a mirror.
Earthenware, in turn, is less dense and even slightly loose. In the section, you can see characteristic pores. It would seem that the differences are very obvious, but going into the store, a person will not split products to make sure that it is porcelain or earthenware. Therefore, there are other signs by which these two materials can be distinguished.
Porcelain is much more expensive than earthenware. For this reason, many seek to determine the material from which this or that product is made, because they are afraid to be deceived. And not in vain. Many sellers deliberately mislead their customers in order to sell a product made of cheap material under the guise of an expensive one.
