Pottery is one of the oldest forms of human craftsmanship. The earliest examples appear in the civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, and Iran, where pots were originally made to store water, grains, or perfumes. Over time, these simple vessels became a canvas for expressing beauty, identity, and cultural beliefs. Today, pots are not merely containers for plants, but key elements in interior design, spatial identity, and the fusion of art with architecture. In Afghanistan, the art of pottery lives on in regions such as Istalif, Bamiyan, and Ghazni—where natural colors, geometric patterns, and handmade glazes reflect a living and dynamic tradition.Their design has evolved from simple clay forms to modern ceramics, glass, and industrial structures.
Globally, brands such as Iittala, Kähler, Jonathan Adler, and Bosa Ceramiche have fused this ancient craft with contemporary design, offering remarkable examples of the harmony between tradition and innovation.
