The origin of this craft is lost in antiquity. However, it is said the craft is as old as civilization. Man used earth as his medium, ever since he started making things for himself.

Clay being the most abundantly available versatile and organic, lending itself to any shape and responsive to even slight touch, became the natural choice of the artisans to produce marvellous artefacts with his deft hands.

The quality of clay used (i.e. white clay, China clay, red clay etc.) and the temperature under which the articles are fired decides the quality of end products.
