Antique Aluminum Clay Kaolin Coffee Pot Farmhouse Decor

Aluminum Clay, or Kaolinite, is a soft, earthy, usually white, mineral (dioctahedral phyllosilicate clay), produced by the chemical weathering of aluminum silicate minerals like feldspar.  Kaolin in ceramics is the main component of porcelain.  The first authentic American porcelain ceramics were produced in Jersey City, New Jersey in the early 19th century while simultaneously in Philadelphia an ambitious porcelain production factory was also operating.  Thereafter, porcelain and earthenware ceramics were produced in many other places across the US.
