Randy:

The term "stoneware" doesn't mean anything other than pottery fired at 
higher temperature than "earthenware". Stoneware is tougher and less porous 
than earthenware but it may be glazed or not at the whim of the manufacturer.

I have , for example, a stoneware salt container, made to order by a local 
potter, which sits permanently on my bench, and is iron-glazed on the 
outside but inside, to help stop the salt clumping too much, it is unglazed.
