Starting in the neolithic era, people molded mud into the shape of two hands scooping water. From these beginnings, pottery has always played the role of "container." Even today its scope is often restricted to vases, bottles, bowls and pots.
說到陶，從新石器時代時，人們以土捏出雙手掬水的形狀，陶的誕生便一直扮演著「容器」的角色，直到今天還常被限定在瓶罐碗壺之間。
