Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A woman is seen shaping toy pots which will be later air dried and baked. The women & men of Bangladesh and West Bengal inherently got to learn this art of shaping earthenware without any machineries. Usually the families inherit this skill and profession from their ancestors and are named 'কুমোর' - pronounced as 'kumor' - locally. People now a days uses metallic pots made up of silver and aluminum. The demand of clay pottery has lessened to curd pots, flower vases, toys & toilet safety tanks. Also, the escalating price of jute stalks is making baking costlier than before.
