1.
pots, dishes, and other articles made of fired clay. Pottery can be broadly divided into earthenware, porcelain, and stoneware.
"an extensive collection of nineteenth-century pottery"
when you hear "earthenware" you think ur gonna see swords and armor made out of dirt or some shit it sounds like an rpg
but no apparently its just a term for pots
why not call them "clay pots" instead
and when it comes to stoneware you can also just call them "stone pots"
apparently the whole definition of "ware" by itself is tied to pottery
fucking why
that means they made this whole term up just for their clay pots and dishes
because they couldnt simply call them clay pots and absolutely needed to make up a cool sounding word for their work
if u needed to group clay pots and plates together or something you could just say "here are my clay dishes" and not "heres my earthenware pottery dude"
and yes pots are classified as dishes so that is valid
but no they had to go ahead and pull some shit out of nowhere so that their garbage can have a cooler sounding name
because ig saying you produce earthenware is way more impressive than telling someone you make clay pots
now i guess i can excuse the existence of the word "pottery", even if its retarded because seriously why not just say dishes insetad, but when it comes to the "-wares" thats when it gets next level autismo
you can just say my clay pottery instead of my earthenware pottery, or have pottery on its own mean clay, as it does already, and if you needed to specify that its made of stone, u dont need to say "stoneware" u can just say "stone pottery" literally what was wrong with that
for what reason did they consider it a need to add the "-ware" there and just make things sound more complicated for no reason
the only thing i can imagine is like i said before, just because it sounds cooler and i guess thats what it is then
whatever man
