Ceramic stoneware is an agglomerate of natural materials, such as clay and quartzose and feldspathic sand, with the addition of metal oxide pigments, which is compressed and fired in a furnace at a temperature of more than 1,200°C. This gives the finished top its resistance to knocks and to thermal shock. The colour will not fade, and the surface is scratch-resistant. The top is hygienic, safe, and does not transfer any chemical agents to the food.
