Functional ware

Functional ware refers to ceramic objects designed primarily for everyday use, such as plates, bowls, cups, and cookware. These items are crafted to be practical, durable, and safe for holding or preparing food and beverages. Unlike decorative pottery, which emphasizes aesthetics, functional ware combines design with usability, often incorporating features like heat resistance or easy cleaning. Its purpose is to facilitate daily tasks efficiently while also often reflecting cultural or personal preferences in form and style. Essentially, functional ware balances practicality with craftsmanship, making it an essential part of daily life.
