The Southwestern Ceramic Collection
About the Collection
A growing collection of pottery, including ceramic vessels, sherds, bowls, and more. Including but not limited to Biscuit Wares, Pre-Pueblo Wares, Blue gray type, Black-on red, and Crackled Black-on-white. On the most basic level, this form of ceramics came about from heating clay at a sufficiently high temperature to trigger a chemical alteration, turning the formerly plastic clay into a rigid, resilient ceramic substance. They were the daily life utensils used for storing food and seeds for future crops, preparing and serving meals, transporting items from one location to another.
