Folk Pottery

Folk pottery refers to handcrafted ceramic items created by local artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Often made with locally available materials, these pieces reflect regional styles, cultural heritage, and practical needs, such as storage jars, bowls, or decorative items. Unlike mass-produced ceramics, folk pottery emphasizes individuality, craftsmanship, and cultural storytelling. It plays a vital role in community identity and historical continuity, showcasing the skill and artistry of ordinary people rather than commercial manufacturing.
