Disclosed is a sanitary ware having not only a practical antivirus property but also a property which allows a pollution to be difficultly attached to, and to be easily removed from the sanitary ware. A sanitary ware comprising a pottery substrate and a glaze layer formed on a surface of the pottery substrate, wherein the glaze layer contains a metal element as an antivirus agent, and the metal element is present in a state of a spinodal phase separation in at least a surface region of the glaze layer, has a practical antivirus property as well as a property which allows a pollution to be difficultly attached to, and to be easily removed from, the sanitary ware.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing microbial contamination or infection in plants, animals, fabrics, and products therefrom. The present invention also provides compositions and methods for reducing human infections. In particular, it provides solid magnetic nanoparticles comprising bacteriostatic, bactericidal, fungistatic, or fungicidal enzymes in one component, and substrates for the enzymes in another component. The compositions are dormant and become active upon exposure to hydration and oxygen.
