Pottery styles

Pottery styles refer to the various techniques, designs, and forms used in the creation of ceramic art. Each style reflects cultural influences, historical context, and regional materials. For example, American Native pottery often features intricate designs and natural motifs, while Japanese ceramics are known for their minimalist aesthetic and emphasis on craftsmanship. Certain styles, such as Stoneware or Earthenware, categorize pottery by the clay used and firing temperatures. Collectively, these styles showcase the diversity of artistic expression and function in pottery across different civilizations and periods.
