| The use of clay for making domestic wares and bricks
is perhaps the oldest of the human arts. The primitive races
took such clay as they found on the surface of the ground,
or by some river-bed, and mixing it with water, fashioned
it by hand into guch shapes as need or fancy dictated. In
India clay products in various forms have been used since
very ancient times. Excavations at various places, Harappa
and . Mohenjodaro on the Indus valley and M uski in Raichur
district, Hyderabad Dn., have shown that the art of potting
thrived in a fairly advance state as early as 3000 B.C. |
