From time to time, he soaked his hand in a pot loaded with soft clay to smooth his work. The potter stuck his fingers in the clay cylinder, modeling its profile. In the last phase of development, the lower part of the ax was attached to a large wheel, moved by feet and which kept on rotating due to its own weight, fact that allowed the potter to model unhampered the pot. The lower end of the ax rotated in a floor groove or a stone cup. After that, the dish with the convexity to the ground appeared and in the next phasem, the wood dish is attached to a vertical ax, around which was rotated by hand. Probably, first the platform (dish) over which the potter processed the clay emerged. 5,000 years ago, the potter's wheel was known in Egypt, 4,000 years ago in Crete. The potter's wheel appeared 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia and soon it became widespread. Depending on the air direction, people could achieve different colors to their pottery (shades of black, gray, red and yellow). This oven, made of two chambers, the fire chamber and the burning chamber over the first, made the burning to be even. The modeled clay was dried in the Sun and, after that, burnt at the beginning on fireplaces or in simple holes, with negative impacts on the quality.Ħ-7,000 years ago in the Middle East, the pot burning oven with reverberation was invented. The clay is broken and beaten with the degreasing compound till it gets homogeneous. The degreasing compound takes away the possibility of cracks appearing after drying or burning the clay. Being too thick, in order not to get stuck through the fingers, degreasing compounds are added: pumice stone powder, pounded shells, mica, sand, fiddled straw, chaffs and so on. The clay is cleaned, washed, filtered and let to rest for some weeks. The fifth method employs the potter's wheel.Processing the clay supposes some previous operations.

The fourth method consists in making a round bottom, to its edges hanging strips which are elevated and joined. On the third method, clay rings are overlapped. The pot is smoothed with a stone or wood piece inside and outside. First is made the bottom of the pot and after that, the vertical coiling is continued till the desired height. The second method starts with making a long clay roll which is curled in spiral. The oldest is the direct hand acting on a clay fragment in which a cavity is modeled.

The ceramics originated probably in smaller coarse processed unburnt clay pots.įive methods of ceramic producing were used. It was a great achievement to turn friable clay into a resistant pot by fire. Till then, the pots were made of stone and wood.Ĭeramic appeared 8,000 years ago in the Middle East, from Macedonia to Iran. The pottery appeared during the Neolithic ("The last stone age"). Surely, the first pottery product was not the work of a sole person but the result of experience accumulated over generations, after countless trials, failures and discoveries.
