A ceramic composition comprising clay, feldspar, grog, silica talc and whiting or alternatively a composition comprising ball clay, flint clay, kaolin, fine grog and carbon black for use as a thermal ceramic material in an oven. An oven for heating or cooking having a base (10), a top (12), two substantially parallel sides (14), a rear (16), a front (18), a heating means (26) inside the oven, and a door (36) in the front (18); the base (10), top (12), sides (14), and rear (16) have an outer skin (20) and an inner lining (24), the inner lining (24) being of a thermal ceramic material and being backed with a layer (22) of a ceramic insulating material, the thermal ceramic material (24) being capable of relatively rapidly absorbing and storing heat without damage to itself and being capable of radiating the stored heat. |
