Pottery is one of the lasting human arts from ancient times to the present day. Pottery is very durable and can last for thousands of years underground. By using the art of pottery, you can create very beautiful and suitable dishes using clay. Among the unique clay dishes, we can mention plates, cups, vases and beautiful decorative dishes and jars made of clay. All these dishes are actually a symbol of Iranian culture and art.
The art of pottery dates back to the history of human life. The four elements of water, wind, earth and fire have been mixed together and have created an art that can be said to be one of the most complete arts. Due to the special geographical location and being on the highway of ancient civilizations, the people of Iran are among the first and most masterful makers of pottery objects. The oldest pottery objects found in Iran's archeological excavations are the works discovered in Ganj Dareh in Kermanshah province and the Belt Cave in the south of Mazandaran, which belong to the 8th millennium (BC). Other ancient hills include Sielek Kashan Hill, Alirei Spring and Qazvin Slum. Pottery made great progress in Iran during the Islamic period. The Seljuk period can be considered as one of the brilliant periods of Islamic art, and the most important development in the pottery industry in this period is the achievement of golden or seven-color glaze.
