Painted Clay Pot

A painted clay pot is the fired form of a clay pot. It is made by lighting a fire source underneath an unfired clay pot and waiting 10 seconds. After transforming into a painted clay pot, the surface will change colors from a clay color to a brick color. The painted clay pot can hold up to eight ceramic shards on its outer surface. Once fired, the ceramic shards cannot be changed. It is not yet known if the pots have a purpose or are purely decorational.
