Egypt Pottery

This type of pottery was made in Egypt. They created their clay out of "Marl Clay" or "Nile clay" types of clay that was formed around the nile. When it was fired it turned into a red-brown color and was then painted. It was in the later years of Egypt that they started using blue paint on their pieces. They used wheels but they were more primitive around 1550- 1096 BC. Their wheels were hand-spun they were the first creators of the wheel.
