Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels and other objects with clay and other ceramic materials, which are fired at high temperatures to give them a hard and durable form. Clay-based pottery can be divided into three main groups: earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. These require increasingly more specific clay material, and increasingly higher firing temperatures. Forming pottery vessels on a potter's wheel is called 'throwing'. This method of pot formation was used by ancient Greek potters when they made their vases and is still used today.
