Marble versus ceramic
Ceramic is an artificial and man-made material. It is made up of clay mixed with inorganic materials to create the appearance of marble. The surface is sealed by being dried and then glazed. Marble is a natural material, which is mined around the globe. Marble from different parts of the world may look very different. Natural marble has a porous surface.
Functionality
Ceramic and marble are strong, durable materials that make them excellent choices when choosing a dining table. Both materials are very durable. They resist heat, cuts, scratching, and spills. This is important if the dining room will be used frequently in your home.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Ceramic is an extremely worry-free material. The top of the table can withstand heat and sharp cutting because it is sealed during manufacturing. Marble table tops require more maintenance and care. Marble is porous and soft so it should be cleaned regularly. However, if it’s done right, it can last a lifetime. You can clean it using warm water or a special marble cleaner, and then buff dry with a cloth.

Price
Marble is a thick material and can cost significantly more than ceramic because it is natural.
Weight
Marble is heavy and should be considered if you plan to move your dining room table around for different occasions or if your home is rented or you plan on moving often. Ceramic is lighter and can be used in an extendible table. Ceramic might be a better choice if you need to adjust the size of your dining room for special occasions or holidays.
Design considerations
Ceramic marble table tops can be as thin as 1/4 inch. Marble table tops, however, will be much thicker. Ceramic table tops look more consistent visually. Marble table tops are more variable because they are natural materials. Marble table tops are more beautiful than ceramic. A marble table top is unbeatable, and each marble table has its unique look.
