Three Sentences (about pots)

[thedaffodils]

Hello! I made three sentences for myself. I wonder which sentences are grammatically correct or wrong. I think all of them are correct, but #2 sounds better for me.


Here're my analysis.


Number 1 contains three independent sentences. This might not sound concise.


Number 2 contains two independent sentences. "the other was made of iron" was the adverbial of the later sentence.


Number 3 contains one independent sentence. The adverbial is "one made of china and the other made of iron".

Am I right? Could I have your opinions about them? Thanks!

#1 There were two pots in a king’s kitchen. One was made of china, and the other was made of iron.

#2 There were two pots in a king’s kitchen; One was made of china, the other made of iron.

#3 There were two pots in a king’s kitchen, one made of china and the other made of iron.

I would like to use the thrid sentence with little moderation as follows:
There were two pots in a King's kitchen, one made of china and the other of iron.

The semicolon is used as a conjunction in second sentence, but since the matter is relavant a coma would do(which you have done in the third sentence). Also the first sentence is more descriptive. Grammar would be checked by Anglika.
