      Silica is a mineral. aka Quartz and it will melt. Stone jugs are made from clay and is vitrified not melted. its fired in a kiln like brick.

        Well, “vitrified” literally means made glassy, and the process involves melting the silicates in the clay, so there are some similarities.

          Only in process and loosely at that. Vitrified clay or brick if you prefer is much harder than silica glass.
