Kalinga Pottery and its Uses [4] A jar from the Philippines housed at the Honolulu Museum of Art, dated from 100–1400 CE. In Kalinga, ceramic vessels can be used for two situations: daily life use and ceremonial use. Daily life uses include the making of rice from the pots and the transfer of water from nearby water bodies to their homes.
Earthenware vessels in the Philippines were formed by two main techniques: paddle and anvil, and coiling and scraping. [2] Although a level of highly skilled craftsmanship is present in the Philippines, no evidence of kilns are found, primarily because the type of clay to be found in the archipelago can only withstand relatively low temperatures of firing.
Pottery (ceramics, clay, and folk clay sculpture) has been part of Filipino culture for about 3,500 years. [169] Notable artifacts include the Manunggul Jar (890–710 BCE) [170] and Maitum anthropomorphic pottery (5 BC-225 AD). [171] High-fired pottery was first made around 1,000 years ago, leading to a ceramic age in the Philippines. [135]
Jingdezhen, a hub for Chinese ceramic production in Jiangxi, was a main source of high quality porcelain that dominated the international Chinese porcelain market. [2] By the end of the 14th century, primary production sites in Jingdazhen shifted from bluish-white colored wares to predominantly blue-and-white porcelain. [2]
By about 5000 BC pottery-making was becoming widespread across the region, and spreading out from it to neighbouring areas. Pottery making began in the 7th millennium BC. The earliest forms, which were found at the Hassuna site, were hand formed from slabs, undecorated, unglazed low-fired pots made from reddish-brown clays. [71]

Examination of some pottery from the Carl E. Guthe Collection developed the idea of the Kalanay pottery complex. [4] The cave was first excavated in 1951 and considerable disturbances were noted pre-excavation. In 1935, there was an earthquake which led to portions of the cave's roof to fall down and pottery scattered around the cave. [5]
The pottery-making enterprise is located beside the main road in East Poblacion. Clay is dug from a pit near the sea, and mixed with silicate soil before being ground through the large rollers of an electric mill, in a pit beside the pottery works. This is mixed with water and molded into pots of various sizes and shapes on a potter's wheel.
