'''Pottery''' is the craft of creating objects from [[clay]], which are then fired (baked) in an oven or [[kiln]] to become hard. Household items such as plates, cups, saucers, bowls and dishes, jars and vases are frequently made of pottery, as are ornaments and figurines, and electrical components such as [[capacitor]]s. Pottery is often [[glaze]]d before firing, to make it impervious to water and other liquids.
