Abstract: A pallet for handling water-permeable dental porcelain materials comprises a porous ceramic material formed of one or two or more selected from the group consisting of materials based on alumina, aluminium silicate, mullite, cordierite, zirconia and vitreous china and having a grain size of 1.0 to 30.0 .mu.m and a mean grain size of 1.5 to 25.0 .mu.m. The porous ceramic material having fine and even pores uniformly dispersed therethrough, as expressed in terms of a porosity of 15 to 65% and a mean pore size of 0.5 to 10 .mu.m.
