Ceramics were first created for functional uses such as, holding water or to carry grains.
Explanation:
Ceramics is one of the oldest businesses on the planet, dating back thousands of years. When people learned that clay could be obtained in abundance and could be fashioned into items by combining it with water and heating it, a major industry arose. During the late Paleolithic period, the oldest known ceramic item dates back to 28,000 BCE (Before Common Era). It is a figurine of a lady from a tiny ancient town near Brno, Czech Republic, known as the Venus of Doln Vstonice. Hundreds of clay figurines depicting Ice Age animals were also discovered near the ruins of a horseshoe-shaped kiln at this location.
