Why is the adjective after the noun in القطعة الفخارية?

Because Arabic normally puts adjectives after the noun they describe.

• القطعة = the piece
• الفخارية = ceramic / pottery / earthenware

So القطعة الفخارية is literally the piece the-ceramic, which in natural English becomes the ceramic piece.

Why do both القطعة and الفخارية have الـ?

In Arabic, adjectives agree with the noun in definiteness as well as gender and number.

• قطعة فخارية = a ceramic piece
• القطعة الفخارية = the ceramic piece

Since القطعة is definite, the adjective الفخارية also has to be definite.
