The ceramic material is glazed with a powdered glass (enamel) and then fired at an extremely high temperature. The intense heat liquifies the glass glaze, it is then allowed to cool.
The result is a high gloss finish with an extremely non-porous (low absorption), stain resistant coating.
The low absorption coating is perfect for stopping the penetration of the high levels of bacteria found in a bathroom.
