Fascinating facts about ceramics production in Mesopotamia

In Mesopotamia, one of the oldest high cultures of humanity, ceramics played a central role. As early as 3500 BC, potters used clay from the fertile river land between the Euphrates and Tigris to make storage containers, water jugs, and decorated vases. The craftsmen mostly worked the raw material in small workshops and shaped the vessels by hand or on simple potter's wheels. Colors were derived from natural pigments: red ocher, yellow sandstone powder, and black soot gave the ceramics their characteristic patterns.

Children learned early on how important these everyday objects were. They often helped knead the clay or decorated the vessels with simple line patterns. The intricate ornaments had not only aesthetic value but also told stories of daily life and the beliefs of the people. Later, when the clay was dry, it was placed in mud ovens at around 800 °C in contact with hot air – only then did it become hard and durable.
