Hanjiki (半磁器)

A low-grade or half-porcelain made of a cleaned, white clay that contains toseki (porcelain stone), whitening, and feldspar. Hanjiki is fired at the lower end of porcelain temperatures (1,200–1,250 degrees Celsius) and is described as "midway between porcelain and stoneware in appearance" (Crueger et al. 2006:287).
