This is a short overview. For the background — history, value over time and notable mines — see Ball Clay →
A fine-grained, highly plastic secondary clay, usually pale-firing, formed from weathered kaolinitic material re-deposited and concentrated in freshwater basins. Prized in ceramics for its plasticity and workability; used in sanitaryware, tableware and tiles, usually blended with other clays rather than used alone.
