Dark brown vase in handmade style with grooves

Pottery has been around since the Neolithic, more than 7000 years ago. For a long time this was formed by hand and no turntable was involved. Various techniques were used to make pots by hand, such as by joining rolls or sheets of clay together. In every period and every culture, the pottery had specific characteristics.

Typical decoration techniques are the application of, for example, finger impressions, grooves or a coarse surface, in which blobs of clay have been applied.

This vase is a reference to hand-formed pottery with grooves.
