Pottery refers to crafted items or tools made from clay that is shaped, dried, and then fired at a specific temperature until hard, dense, and durable; these items are sometimes coated with glaze or porcelain. In Indonesia, pottery is still widely used in households. Most of the production processes remain traditional and simple.

Nowadays, I rarely use it, even though I still have it in the cupboard.

T/hat's nice that things there are still traditional. I don't see any cookwares here made of clay pots anymore.

In the market now, I rarely see clay potteries anymore. Most things sold now are made of plastics.

We used to make pottery items as kids. They were school assignments. We would be looking for clay soil to make the products. ..fun times
