Dolomite, with the chemical name of Calcium Magnesium Carbonate CaMg(CO3)2, is named for the French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu. The mineral was first identified by him in 1791 and named after its discoverer. In China, dolomite has become a useful source for the production of lightweight ceramic (low-temperature ceramic). Therefore dolomite also refers to ceramics which produced with the material of it. It is the oldest and lowest fired of the ceramics resulting in a porous body with water absorption's from 3-15%, non-translucent and may range in colour from red-brown to white. Dolomite is typically produced by firing to between 800 C and 1100 C. The first or biscuit firing temperature is 800 C - 850 C, glost firing 1050 C - 1100 C. Therefore dolomite belongs to earthenware on the ceramics classification list, with the name of ceramics pottery.

Compared to conventional ceramic ware, dolomite items are 40 percent lighter, more flexible, and carry brighter and more abundant under glazed colors. Because the material offers greater design flexibility, conventional dolomite is used more for art pieces and decorative items, and less for dinnerware in complete sets that include plates, bowls, saucers and cups. Therefore lightweight dolomite is ideal for art pieces, decor.

The use of lower firing temperatures than for porcelain and stoneware makes manufacturing more cost effective; Allow a wide range of decoration techniques, so that products have sufficient durability for domestic use. Also due to its porosity it is of easy erosion after breaking then comes to one of the most "green" and earth-friendly ceramics.

Strengthened Dolomite:
To overcome its porosity (which makes it impracticable for storing liquids in its unglazed state, for example), the fired object is covered with finely ground glass powder suspended in water and is then fired a second time. During the firing, the fine particles covering the surface fuse into an amorphous, glasslike layer, sealing the pores of the clay body. At the same time we improve the strength of the body through improving the recipe so that it overcomes its weakness and make it widely used for dinnerware, decorative dinnerware and decorative purpose as well. Our dolomite is strengthened one which keeps the conventional characteristics of dolomite and its strength is nearly like stoneware.
