Well, they've got different names, and Grannyware comes in a variety of
colors. Graniteware has always been either black or gray with white
speckles. Apart from that, I doubt there's any real difference.
Difference in quality, maybe? I dunno. Grannhyware is a brand, whereas
graniteware is made by more than one omanufacturer.
