Although we have ceramic (Gravettian figurines) objects that date back to 30.000 BC the first (well established and proven) use of pottery as a vessel dates to the 11th century BC (10.500 BC) in Japan. The invention in Mesopotamia of the potter's wheel was the high point in ancient pottery (6.000 BC).From Mesopotamia the wheel reached India and Egypt and later on (3000 BC) Greece and the Mediterrenean sea. The invention of porcelain in China during the Eastern Han period (100 - 200 AD) was also very significant.
