Pottery in the Indian subcontinent has an ancient history and is one of the most tangible and iconic elements of
Indian art . Evidence of pottery has been found in the early settlements of
Lahuradewa and later the Indus Valley Civilization. Today, it is a cultural art that is still practiced extensively in Indian subcontinent . Until recent times all Indian pottery has been earthenware , including
terracotta .
Hindu traditions historically discouraged the use of pottery for eating off, which probably explains the noticeable lack of traditions of fine or luxury pottery in South Asia, in contrast to East Asia and other parts of Eurasia. Large matki jars for the storage of water or other things form the largest part of traditional Indian pottery, as well as objects such as lamps. Small simple kulhar cups, and also oil lamps, that are disposable after a single use remain common. Today, pottery thrives as an art form in India. Various platforms, including potters' markets and online pottery boutiques have contributed to this trend.
This article covers pottery vessels; there has also been much figurative sculpture and decorative tilework in ceramics in the subcontinent, with the production of terracotta figurines being widespread in different regions and periods. In Bengal in particular, a lack of stone produced an extensive tradition of architectural sculpture for temples and mosques in terracotta and carved brick. The approximately life-size figures decorating gopurams in South India are usually painted terracotta.
Traditional pottery in the subcontinent is usually made by specialized
kumhar ( Sanskrit: kumbhakära ) communities or castes.
History
Horned figure on pottery from
Kashmir, India . Pré-Indus Valley civilization.
Sothi-Siswal culture
Sothi - Siswal is the site of a Pre-Indus Valley Civilisation settlement dating to as early as 4600 BCE. [1] According to Tejas Garge, Sothi culture precedes Siswal culture considerably, and should be seen as the earlier tradition. [1] Sothi-Siswal culture is named after these two sites, located 70 km apart. As many as 165 sites of this culture have been reported. There are also broad similarities between Sothi-Siswal and
Kot Diji ceramics. Kot Diji culture area is located just to the northwest of the Sothi-Siswal area. [2] Sothi-Siswal ceramics are found as far south as the Ahar-Banas culture area in southeastern Rajasthan.
