Ceramics are probably the most common of all art forms to have emerged from human history and are one of the oldest inventions. The first evidence of human-made ceramics dates back to at least 24,000 years BC! While the technology and applications have steadily increased, the use of this form of art stayed pretty much the same. Just like before, we make use of ceramics as containers for water and food, art objects, tiles and bricks and so on.

In this article, however, we want to share the most unusual and unique ceramic things that people created, as posted on this subreddit, r/Ceramics. From impressive arm sculptures to exclusive cups, we believe you’ll find some really interesting and beautiful pieces in here.

that's gorgeous! Do you have a shop?

These are not ceramic, these are real and I'm am not discussing it!

Usually, when drinking tea or coffee from our favorite cup, we do not think about the processes our mug had to go through to finally reach our home. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind piece or a mass-manufactured product, there are always some thoughts and efforts put into its design and its making.

Every ceramic piece begins with the preparation of clay followed by actual shaping. When we are finally satisfied with how our article looks, it goes into firing. The final stage is painting and decorating. Of course, the techniques can vary depending on the person and school. Not to mention the different materials that are used when molding an item. You can find more about ceramic techniques here.

You're warmly welcome, gorgeous ceramic whales!

It's so PERFECT and STRAIGHT and incredible. I could stare at this forever.

Once humans discovered that clay could be formed into something by mixing it with water and then firing, a key industry was born, laying the foundation for what we know now as ceramics.

The oldest known ceramic artifact is a statuette of a woman that dates back to the late Paleolithic period. The first examples of pottery appeared in China several thousand years later (18 000-17 000 BCE).

Today, we can find all kinds of cute ceramic pieces that sometimes are too hard to resist. From nicely patterned vases to little statues of cute animals, the ceramics serve not only as auxiliary tools but as decorations too. Scrolling through this list, we found more than enough works of art we would love to own. What about you?

Reminds me of Johnson TSANG's artwork, especially his Open Mind series. https://www.johnsontsangart.com/lucid-dream-ii#open-mind-series 477b5ad1e8...58fff8.jpg

It looks like right out of a fairy tale.

Did you know that ceramics can also be used to improve our mental health and well-being? Artistic creation has allowed humans to find expression and communicate since the beginning of human history. In recent decades, scientists have recognized the transformative potential of art. Art therapy has increasingly been included in mental health treatment programs around the world and has been proven to help patients heal faster.

So what do you think, dear pandas? Did you find something interesting? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to upvote your favorite ceramic pieces!

These are stunning! the details are so intricate and super pretty

I don't see angry, I see concentrated.

Fun fact: Blobfish occupies a habitat some 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) beneath the waves – a zone that's exposed to incredible pressures. In fact, it's actually kind of cute when at its usual depth. However, when it encounters a rapid pressure drop while being hauled to the surface, its gelatinous flesh rapidly expands and makes them a gooey mess we know from pictures and it is totally not fair. EDIT: *sad fact
