Persian pottery or Iranian pottery refers to the pottery works made by the artists of Persia (Iran) and its history goes back to early Neolithic Age (7th millennium BCE). Agriculture gave rise to the baking of clay, and the making of utensils by the people of Iran. Iranian pottery was sometimes referred to as Gombroon. Gombroon was used to describe the colorless nature and delicate texture of the pottery. The pottery included inscriptions and simple patterns that was often pasted on the sides. This style of art became influential throughout the centuries.
Through the centuries, Persian potters have responded to the demands and changes brought by political turmoil by adopting and refining newly introduced forms and blending them into their own culture.This innovative attitude has survived through time and influenced many other cultures around the world.
