English to afrikaans meaning of

Porselein is 'n tipe keramiekmateriaal wat dikwels wit of deurskynend in voorkoms is. Dit word gemaak deur materiale soos klei, veldspaat en kaolien tot hoë temperature te verhit, wat veroorsaak dat hulle saamsmelt en 'n harde, duursame stof vorm. Porselein word tipies gebruik om 'n verskeidenheid voorwerpe te maak, soos tafelgerei, dekoratiewe items en badkamertoebehore. Die woord "porselein" kom van die Italiaanse woord "porcellana," wat "cowrie-dop" beteken, want die materiaal is oorspronklik gedink om na die gladde, blink oppervlak van die dop te lyk.
