Description: Religion. Humour. Trade. Sex. Folklore. Creativity. Pots can tell us more about the lives of the people who made and used them than any other artefacts. Bearing the imprint of their maker ceramics give us a direct physical link to the past often the only evidence of longforgotten civilizations that have otherwise crumbled to dust and a unique passport to other cultures. From the most rough - hewn clay bowl that tells us how bread was baked over 5,000 years ago in Iraq to ethereally beautiful porcelain used for religious rituals and from a lewd Renaissance novelty dish to a sleek contemporary vessel inspired by traditional African techniques Around the World in 80 Pots is an eclectic journey across time and place and a rare insight into humankind's oldest craft.
