MESOPOTAMIA


Translated from the ancient greek term mesopotamia, 'between two rivers' the sculptural vessels by amsterdam-based designer siba sahabi makes the connection between this ancient land - located between the rivers - with its pottery innovations and western ceramics culture which developed through these new technologies. a circular, ribbed finish is one of the distinguishing characteristics of minyan ware which reflects its production process on a potter’s turntable.although the turntable no longer plays a significant role in the production of modern large-scale pottery today, the appearance of 
hand-turned ceramics is often imitated by producing circular shapes with fine ridges.
