Based on an observation by Karl Langenbeck 1 in his “Chemistry of Pottery” a fine and very dense stoneware fired at cone 9 has been developed with a Missouri flint clay as the principal raw material. The resulting product is non‐absorbing, tough, and a very satisfactory body for ball mill jars, fine art stoneware, and any work where such a body is desired. Plasticity is equal to that of any standard that may be chosen and the body mixture can readily be thrown on the potter's wheel. Control of plasticity can readily be had so that such a body is available for use by any process. The color when fired is that of a poor grade of hard porcelain.
