THE PREHISTORIC ERAClay served people as blank pages on which they could record important events. People formed it and in its shapes and designs recorded their observations of everyday life. Pottery is full of signs and symbols which today are difficult for us to interpret. However, their meaning was easily understood at the time they were made. Each culture left behind ceramics which characterize it and provide detailed information about itself. Along with the spiritual and practical knowledge, we also learn about the materials and manufacturing processes used. |

Prehistoric pottery needs specific manufacturing techniques which require a considerable investment in time and money. Nevertheless, we use traditional techniques in shaping and decorating our pottery. It is this production process along with the oxidizing and reducing firing in our field kiln, which give this pottery the characteristic appearance that, in many instances, is identical to the originals. All our prehistoric pottery replicate originals which were discovered in archaeological excavations and are made by strictly following the traditional manufacturing processes used. Many of these original artefacts cannot be restored and are published only as illustrations. With some of these items however, we have succeeded in creating the original shape of the entire object from splinter remains and drawn reconstructions. Studying the originals, understanding the manufacturing process used and putting it all into practice has taken us five years. |

Our catalogue of prehistoric and historical replicas covers the period between 5000 years B.C. and the beginning of our epoch A.D. Below you will find ceramic replicas of individual cultures listed in chronological order. |
