Handcrafted pottery refers to ceramic items made by skilled artisans using traditional techniques. Each piece is shaped by hand, often on a pottery wheel, and can include bowls, mugs, and vases. The process involves molding clay, firing it in a kiln, and applying glazes for color and finish. This type of pottery is valued for its uniqueness, as no two pieces are exactly alike. Artisans may draw inspiration from various cultures and styles, incorporating elements like folk art or modern design. Handcrafted pottery is often appreciated for its aesthetic appeal and functional use in everyday life.
