Marbled pottery, also referred to sometimes as agateware, has ancient roots, going all the way back to the Roman Empire (1st century BC to the 5th century AD). Examples of marbled ware can also be found in pottery of the Tang Dynasty in China, (618-907 AD) the Persians, (9th to 13th centuries AD) and in 18th century Europe it gained wide popularity when taken to new heights by Josiah Wedgewood. Simply put, marble ware uses a technique of combining contrasting colors of clay together, with the natural movement of each clay color creating a flowing pattern that is reminiscent of marble. There are an infinite number of patterns that can be created this way, and no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.
- Each piece has its own unique pattern due to the blending of two colors of clay in the process of throwing.
