You are probably talking etymology, since obviously they are different materials.
Etymologically, both have vague origins, but the guesses tend to go in different directions. Nonetheless cinnabar may have influenced the development of the word cinnamon, because both were often used as a red powder.
There are many unrelated words whose spelling and pronunciation converge because of what is a sort of folk etymology between them, people assuming the words are related in some way, and therefore treating them similarly.

How is cinnabar used in ceramics?
First, we must define cinnabar. Real cinnabar is mercury sulfide. It isn't used in pottery. It is extremely toxic and decomposes at 580 C (well below kiln temperatures). However, what is called cinnabar glaze is a deep red stoneware glaze, and fairly non-toxic (although like any glaze, the dust can be harmful).
