Pottery Industry In Sri Lanka
A worker makes a pottery item at a pottery factory in Kegalle, Sri Lanka, on July 23, 2023. The pottery of Sri Lanka has a very long history. There are pieces of evidence about the history of pottery in Sri Lanka that date back to the second century BC. It has become an unbroken tradition that has been passed from one generation to the next. There is evidence from the archaeological excavations at the Anuradhapura Gedige and Kandarodai in Jaffna that has found pottery items from the early stages of history in Sri Lanka. The archaeological excavations done near the Thissamaharamaya found many pottery items dating back to the second century BC. Some of them were imported from various places in the world. That proves pottery items were one of the main goods traded in international trade in ancient Sri Lanka. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
