TERRACOTTA POTTERY

Pottery in the Indian subcontinent has an ancient history and is one of the most tangible and iconic elements of regional art. Evidence of pottery has been found in the early settlements of Mehrgarh from the Indus Valley Civilisation. Today, it is a cultural art that is still practiced in India and Pakistan -though not such extensively as the modernization of living customs as effected this sector most.

 

This form of art is generally used nowadays to decorate the drawing or the living rooms where many of the articles of this craft are used extensively.

 

Few of the professionals from Karachi, Hala, Multan and other cities are of great skill and are so proficient that their workmanship is liked abroad as well and they export their product abroad which is a plus for this industry.
