Pottery – a product made of special clay (soil, water, partly a mixture of sand and silt) and heated by fire. The clay is made in two different ways – on the lake and with the help of a potter’s wheel, and then heated in a kiln (khumdon) to make potterty products. Items are widely used in household  (bowls, jugs, etc.), architecture (tiles, ceramics, rivets, etc.) and industry (fire-resistant molds, etc.); Children’s toys and some decorative items (figurines, large statues) are made in the same way.
