2008Romanian Pottery - Pots and cups (III) - First Day Cover

The philatelic issue Romanian Pottery - Pots and Cups (III), which Romfilatelia introduces into circulation, comes to complete a previous stamp series initiated in 2007, illustrating pottery objects hand-crafted on the territory of present day Romania.
Early since the Neolithic era, pottery was the main occupational activity across the country, designed to create objects that would meet household needs. Each geographical region had its own handicraftsmen and pottery centers were widespread. On an European scale, Romania is the only country that preserved pottery techniques and art entirely.
