[Spit-project] clay-question for pug-request for Gunthar

[gail young]

Ceramics is just a catch all term for clay wares.
  Because stoneware has to fire at such high temps, it wasn't used much at all until late period...hard to get the fire that hot.

Clay for pots that will be used over the fire needs to be a specific sort - I don't recall if it's earthenware or stoneware. Those college pottery classes were too long ago. I can tell you that all John Hudson's (http://www.hudsonclaypotter.com/the_pots.php?type=2) cooking pots are fire-safe. 

He does ship to the US, but shipping is expensive. If folks want to purchase a lot of pottery from him, we should get an order together.
