The transition from clay to porcelain is analogous to the metamorphic grades creating an aureole as one moves toward the source pluton because just as all of the different metamorphic grades form an aureole around the source pluton, clay is transformed into various grades of metamorphic rocks, each with their own unique characteristics, when subjected to increasing heat and pressure. Similarly, porcelain is created by subjecting clay to high heat and pressure, resulting in a more compact and denser material with different physical and chemical properties.
