   Pretty sure just about any ceramic dishware will be fully vitrified, meaning that the clay itself (not just the glaze) is fully waterproof and non-porous. There might still be concern over the rough surface being able to harbor bacteria, but neither glue nor food will seep into the clay.

     Is manufactured ceramic for use as kitchenware ever earthenware? I’d assumed not, but I might be off base!

     Earthenware is water-permiable as is some stoneware. Also, "impermiable" is relative, and some vitrified ceramics will still absorb some percentage of water. Most dishware is impermiable, but glue might still seep into the open pores of the material which would lessen the bonding strength. That's the hazard of cyanoacrylate glues.
