Pottery from Northern Portugal[:]
![[:pt]Exposição Olaria Norte de Portugal[:en]Pottery from Northern Portugal[:] @ Museu de Olaria](https://www.museuolaria.pt/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Capa-Português-ONP-Entrada-Livre-220x300.jpg)
This exhibition is composed of earthenware utilitarian crockery, which belongs to renowned pottery centres established in the north of Portugal. This typology of pottery items was conceived for daily domestic use and meant to address the needs of the family. Thus, here are pieces of black, red opaque and glazed earthenware from the following locations: Parada de Gatim, Barcelos, Guimarães, Bisalhães, Vilar de Nantes, Selhariz, Pinela, Felgar and Gondar.
Although in the past, it was used in all Portuguese houses, the utilitarian pottery started to decline in the Seventies of the last century, replaced by plastic and metal utensils.[:]
