Pottery
Pottery is among the most ancient crafts known to man. Prehistoric Egyptians created earthenware art pottery, which was discovered in burial plots overlooking the Nile valley. The oldest examples of Babylonian art pottery date from the historical period, between the 9th and 7th century BC the shaping of vessels of clay had become well developed. Most of the vessels of this period were handmade and often irregular in shape. Phoenician period potters are thought to have created the first wheel turned art pottery. The clay was finer quality and burned to a brown or red and the ware was thin and light.
