Pottery is one of the oldest human inventions. Some fragments of ancient pottery found in southern China date back 20,000 years.

The ceramics probably consisted of simple concave vessels that were most probably used for cooking food.

But since then we have come a long way. And the aptly titled subreddit r/Pottery has plenty of examples that prove it.

The online community has 97.5k members (or as they call themselves, mud enthusiasts) and many of them constantly share pictures of their most proud works. Continue scrolling and check them out!

oh sheet! This should be a real boo-n to your Halloween decor.

Clay, the basic material of pottery, has two key characteristics: it is plastic (meaning it can be molded and will retain the shape imposed upon it), and it hardens on firing to form a brittle but otherwise virtually indestructible material that is not attacked by any of the agents that corrode metals or organic materials.

For example, if a sun-dried clay vessel is filled with water, it will eventually collapse, but, if it is heated, chemical changes that begin to take place at about 900 °F (500 °C) preclude a return to the plastic state no matter how much water is later in contact with it.

Beautiful! Ancient Greeks used to offer miniature vases like these to their gods.

It is impossible to say when the potter's wheel, which is a difficult tool and needs a long apprenticeship, was introduced.

The development of the slow, or hand-turned, wheel as an adjunct to pottery manufacture eventually led to the introduction of the kick wheel, rotated by foot, which became the potter's principal tool.

That's fine!

Clay is abundant, cheap, and adaptable, which makes it perfect for human exploitation. Because usable clay is widely available, pottery was independently invented in many parts of the world at different times.

Much of the earliest recorded evidence of clay usage dates back to the Late Palaeolithic period in central and western Europe, where fired and unfired clay figurines were created as a form of artistic expression. As early as 30,000 years ago, we can also see evidence of some experimentation with clay: at a site known as Dolni Vestonice (Czech Republic), figurines made of clay mixed with crushed mammoth bone were found.

Although there is not necessarily a direct causal relationship between a sedentary way of life and pottery-making, the introduction of pottery generally coincides with the adoption of an agricultural lifestyle, when durable and strong vessels and containers are needed.

In fact, potteryis used to date archaeological sites. This is especially important at places where written records cannot offer chronological references, either because they cannot be found or because they remain undeciphered.

Peter rabbit vibes here…

Pottery can be analyzed on the basis of several features: shape, type of surface, colors, drawing patterns, and decorative styles. All these elements, studied in detail for each particular culture and time, can help to understand the artistic development of a society and may also enable specialists to identify pottery fragments when they are found in places far away from their production centre, reflecting trade activity and exchange networks.

Rokas is a writer at Bored Panda with a BA in Communication. After working for a sculptor, he fell in love with visual storytelling and enjoys covering everything from TV shows (any Sopranos fans out there?) to photography. Throughout his years in Bored Panda, over 235 million people have read the posts he's written, which is probably more than he could count to.

Ieva is a Photo Editor at Bored Panda. Art was always a big part of her life. She studied at Vilnius Academy of Arts, worked in the art supplies store and learned a lot about artsy tools. Later on she got to work at the art gallery and met lots of artists, mastered the picture framing process and sold a great number of paintings. After gaining some experience Ieva decided to focus on creating art herself. Boogie Studio - analog collage art studio was born. Ieva's love for images and layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as a Photo Editor.

PSA for all posters on Bored Panda who ever post their art: Make sure to watermark your photos with some sort of name/website!! This way people know where to buy your goods. Even if you're not selling, you want to make sure your images are watermarked so you are properly credited. Otherwise your images can get stolen and used by someone else.

These are all gorgeous.

I love every single one of these and it's my great regret that I don't have enough money for all of them to shut up and take.
