Pottery is very beneficial and advantageous to archaeologists as it is a very common and widespread product that leads us to have a greater understanding about the everyday life of the area inhabitants. “Pottery is one of the most common artefacts in ancient sites. Once broken, unlike glass and metal, it cannot be recycled. This makes it very useful to archaeologists,” said Pont. Pont made the conclusion that the red slip pottery was used by the Pompeian’s as tableware with the main purpose of serving food and drink given its characteristically glossy surface. By dipping ceramics in liquid clay and later firing it in an oxygenating kiln is how this gloss is created (Kalnins, 2004) (see figure

Mexicans brought new ideas, designs, and techniques to the world of pottery dating back to the time of the Aztec Indians. Initially, Mexican pottery was developed for the needs of their culture and has changed throughout history. The glazing and decorative techniques separate them from other cultures showing unique styles. Mexican Pottery is mostly known by where it is from, and some of the more popular works come from Puebla, Oaxacan, and Mata Ortiz. Because pottery does not decay, ancient pieces have been found showing us a glimpse of Mexican art history.

The appearance of Beaker Bell pottery in Europe is one ceramic innovation which is still not fully understood today (Waddell 2010, 121) as their distribution is irregular stretching from Hungary to Ireland. Several Beaker Bell pottery types have been identified in Britain and Ireland; those of different sizes, ware type (ibid). Many of the pottery that has survived in Ireland are those which have been used for burial, although also used for drinking, storage and cooking (Gibson 2002, In: Waddell 2010, 121). Residue analysis showed the pottery was used for holding alcohol and drugs, but as the pots themselves would not hold liquids for long it was like a prehistoric drinking challenge (Guerra-Doce 2006, 248). Pottery sherds have been uncovered from a number of settlements in Ireland; Dublin, Limerick, Meath and Tyrone to name a few locations. It was only when wedge tombs were excavated in the 1930s that there was actual proof of Beaker Bell existence in Ireland and from that it was assumed the people were an important component of the Irish population at that time (Waddell 2010, 129) and they were also recognised as the people that introduced the understanding of metal working to Ireland. The “Beaker Folk” are all connected by their similar techniques and artefacts but their geographical location seems to be an influence in their day to day practices, for example the stark difference in Irish and British Beaker Bell funerary rituals (Waddell 2010, 130). It seems the one

Pottery was a huge part of the ancient Greeks lives. The pots were very highly decorated usually with scenes depicting Greek gods as a way of worship to them. This paper will explore two examples of Greek pottery and explain their uses and what is seen on them and why.

After weeks of working I made a total of three pottery pieces, the one that I spent most time on is a clay pot that was made to look like an ancient greece piece of art. They used as grave markers and many other useful things. Back in ancient Greek pottery was divided into four different areas. These areas are for storage and transport vessels, mixing vessels, jugs and cups, vases for oils, perfumes and cosmetics. Many believed that Greek pottery, unlike today's pottery, was only fired once, but that firing had three stages. When firing their art pieces the kiln was heated to around 920-950 °C. They technically decorated their pieces to tell a old story or to represent something, normally people in a darker shaded color. I chose this culture

Within three years after his mother deceased, Wu Shi mourned and studied at the Jinsha Temple, while his servant named Gongchun (供春) was serving him. When Gongchun was free of his duty, he secretly began to apply the monk’s practice during his own pottery-making process. In order to shape the main body of the teapot, he also sieved the fine clay and lumped it into a ball, and then used a spoon to empty the center of the body. Furthermore, Gongchun relied on his fingers to smooth both the inside and the surface of the teapot, which resulted in some vague patterns of his fingerprints on the body. The fingerprints later became a very important characteristic of the Gongchun teapot, which was utilized by the connoisseurs to distinguish the authentic

The invention of pottery was a tremendous step for the start of humans. Pottery has given humans the ability to store food and water. Cooking requires some kind of surface to cook. While the men were hunting, most likely the women were the first to present the idea of pottery. Women played a huge role in society, they were the major providers of food. During the Ice Age there was limited supply of plants and animals, so humans had to create pottery to help store for later. The first domestications of food sources happen even before animals were domesticated. Some scientists say that domestication of plant food sources was accidently or it was done on propose, but there is not a lot of evidence to point to one or the other. I think the invention

Making pottery on a wheel is a form of art that takes time and skill. Each piece is unique, but each one is made using the same process. Learning the basic process of spinning pottery will begin you on the path to making a successful and beautiful bowl or vase. It is so easy to become addicted to this type of artwork, especially if you are a perfectionist like me, because of the symmetry and small details involved. Ceramics takes time to make, however the outcome is definitely worth it.

Pottery is very famous in Ancient Greece and one of the main reasons are because they mainly use it for storage containers, cookware and dishes were as necessary for the Ancient Greeks as they are for us these days.
