In my world, families posses family plates containing the ashes or their predecessors.
Is it feasible to have crockery made of human ashes?
If so, what properties can I expect from the pottery? What colours and kinds of pottery (stoneware or even porcelain) can be made from the ashes?
Bonus: Are there any good resources to read up more on the topic?

@ALambentEye: By definition, cremation implies that soft tissue is burned off and converted into carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and water vapor, all of which are evacuated into the atmosphere. What remains after cremation is the mineral contents of the bones.
