Handmade pottery refers to ceramic items crafted by artisans using traditional techniques. Each piece is shaped by hand, often on a pottery wheel, and can include bowls, mugs, and vases. The process typically involves molding clay, drying it, and firing it in a kiln to achieve durability and a unique finish. Artisans often decorate handmade pottery with glazes or intricate designs, making each item one-of-a-kind. This type of pottery is valued for its craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal, often reflecting the culture and style of the potter or region where it was made.
