陶土, or "ceramic clay," is a natural material used in pottery and ceramics. It is composed of fine particles of minerals, such as kaolin, feldspar, and quartz, which give it plasticity and strength when fired. This versatile material can be shaped into various forms, making it ideal for creating functional and decorative items. Once shaped,陶土 is typically dried and then fired in a kiln at high temperatures. This process transforms the clay into a hard, durable substance. The final products can be glazed or left unglazed, allowing for a wide range of artistic expressions in ceramics and pottery.
