As for the types of wares, pottery comprises true distinctive types of wears. The first type, earthenware, has been made following virtually the same techniques since ancient time; only in the modern era has mass production brought changes in materials and methods. The craftsman in this creative work, whether the potter with his simple articles of unpolished earthenware in natural colours of terracotta, or the more skilled artisan with his glazed ceramics with intricate motifs, has played a vital role in every day life in the sub-continent including Bangladesh. Bangladeshi potter has always laid stress on the basic form and texture of his articles. Harmonious colour blending, the perfect all-over effect of design with shade and tone, mark his unity of purpose. The history of Bangladesh pottery art is also very old, as old as the Mohenjodaro and Harappa civilization. Beside our home decoration we should preserve this trend.
