Hi Rachel,

the paragraph doesn't mention which items are made, but just gives a brief description of what "gres fine porcellanato" is made of and how it is made
Rachel Fell Jul 19, 2006:
What are the items in question made of this material?
GAR Jul 19, 2006:
I think you can use "gres" or translate it as "stoneware"... think both of them are correct
Lindsay Watts (asker) Jul 19, 2006:
the translation I seem to be finding is "porcelain stoneware" but I'm not sure if this is right. Any confirmation?
