What is Chinese stoneware?

Chinese stoneware is a type of metamorphic rock formed by the recrystallization of limestone. This stone has fine, dense crystals, making it a high-quality material suitable for use in facades and flooring. The use of Chinese stoneware dates back to ancient times. Historical evidence shows that this stone was used in the construction of famous monuments such as the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Taj Mahal in India. In Iran, this stone has also been used in historical architectural works such as the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque in Isfahan.
