A special feature of aboriginal pottery is its imperfectly circular shape, which results from being produced by hand rather than formed on a potter's wheel. A lump of pounded clay is made into the vessel's base, then beaten into shape using an egg-shaped stone and wooden paddle. The pots are fired in the open air under a pile of firewood.
原住民陶器的特色是器物不呈現正圓形，因為原住民的製陶方式並非手拉胚，而是以整片的陶土捏出器底，再環繞器底以圓卵石及木板拍打做成胚型，露天堆柴燒製。
