Ceramic is a community in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is located in Stokes County, approximately ten miles southwest of county seat Danbury, near Belews Lake. "Ceramic" as a community ceased to exist at least 6 decades ago. The community was started by a ceramic pipe and drain tile manufacturing company, presently the "Pine Hall" brick company. Only remnants of the factory exist, it appears that fire may have caused its demise. The huge clay pits are surrounded by overgrown trees and underbrush and are nearly immpossible to find. The only residents are small game and coyotes.

North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (932 words)
	There is no historical information that tells exactly when the house was first constructed, but an important piece of evidence recovered from the archaeological excavations has provided the first hard evidence as to when the additions were made to the house in the mid-1800s.
	The tell-tale artifact was a ceramic plate fragment found in the foundation trench which was dug out when the additions were made.
	The ceramic sherd had the name and mark of its English manufacturer--James Edwards--on it and a search of historical reference books showed that the maker's mark was not used prior to 1842, so the addition to the house could not have been built before that date.
