what are the laboratory apparatus that are made up of ceramics
Toilets are made from clay and water that is heated and molded to form a ceramic porcelain. Ceramic porcelain was chosen because of its characteristics such as sturdiness, cheapness and durability.
CERAMICS The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramos). The term covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. Up until the 1950s or so, the most important of these were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles and the like, along with cements and glass. Clay-based ceramics are described in the article on pottery. A composite material of ceramic and metal is known as cermet. The word ceramic can be an adjective, and can also be used as a noun to refer to a ceramic material, or a product of ceramic manufacture. Ceramics may also be used as a singular noun referring to the art of making things out of ceramic materials. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. China The Chinese perfected porcelain by using kaolin, a white clay, mixing it with china stone and firing it at high temperatures. That was in the 10th century and it took another 800 years before true porcelain was developed in Europe. China, in this context, originally refered to a ceramic dinnerware coming out of the country of China which was particularly fine and exceptionally white. It was a standard of quality unknown elsewhere at the time. To answer the question then, China is a ceramic product but of a very fine quality and it should more accurately be called porcelain.
Ceramic sinks are nicer looking but less durable than sinks made from metals such as stainless steel. While metal sinks dent from accidents, dropping heavy objects on your ceramic sink can crack or chip it. Overall, metal sinks are better for a long-term use.
Coffee mugs are usually made of ceramic earthenware materials instead of glass, because materials such as porcelain retain heat better than glass. If glass gets too hot, it will shatter.
Well porcelain is made from a very fine white clay called china clay or kaolinite. 1400°C is used when firing it. However, many modern ceramic materials are not made from clay, instead they are produced from silicon and zirconium compounds, zirconia (ZrO ) or silicon nitride (Si3N4)I really hope that helps ;)
Examples: crucible, dish, boat, mortar and pestle, bottle etc.

Laboratory ware made of porcelain include crucibles, Büchner funnels, capsules and Gooch crucibles.
Laboratory apparatus made from clay primarily include porous ceramic materials such as porcelain and fire clay. These materials are used to create a range of equipment, including crucibles, evaporating dishes, and filtration apparatus like Buchner funnels. Clay-based laboratory apparatus are known for their excellent heat resistance, chemical stability, and thermal shock resistance, which make them suitable for various high-temperature applications and chemical reactions. Additionally, their porous nature allows them to efficiently filter and separate solid particles from liquids in filtration processes.

A candle holder made in Italy would most likely be made of porcelain or ceramic. Porcelain is the common name given to all ceramic items.

The word 'porcelain' is a noun, a word for a white, translucent, ceramic; a word for things made from this ceramic; a word for a substance; a word for a thing.
Examples: distillation apparatus, filtration apparatus, installations for synthesis in organic chemistry, installation for separation by solvent extraction, laboratory demineralization apparatus etc.
