Pottery & Ceramics

Pottery is an ancient and venerated art form and refers categorically to a range of ceramics such as earthenware, stoneware, porcelain and bone china. The term ceramic is derived from the ancient greek word keramis, which refers to the plastic material or clay that is formed and fired at high tempreratures in a kiln which converts it to a solid. Pottery includes wheel pottery, as well as molded ceramics, dinnerware and various other plastic arts. Chinese ceramics are highly collectible and fetch top prices at auction.
