Kaolin:
A pure, soft, white clay of variable but usually low plasticity that retains its white color when fired. The material was first obtained from a hill called Kaoling and was sent to Europe in the early 18th century. Pure kaolin is used in the manufacture of fine porcelain and china; impure varieties are used in making pottery, stoneware, and bricks; as filler for pigments; and in the manufacture of paper.
