Functional pottery

Functional pottery refers to ceramic items designed for everyday use, combining practicality and aesthetics. These pieces can include bowls, mugs, plates, and vases, all crafted to be both beautiful and suitable for daily activities, such as cooking or serving food. Artists create functional pottery using various techniques and materials, ensuring that these items are durable and often safe for food and drink. While functionality is key, many potters also emphasize artistic expression, resulting in unique, visually appealing pieces that enhance everyday life.
