Modern ceramics has been a common term for ceramic art as part of the fine arts since the beginning of the 20th century, derived from the term modern art. It includes objects made of ceramics, which emancipate themselves from the handicraft tradition of everyday objects and decorative figurative representations. It differs from historical ceramic art and is subject to developments similar to other branches of modern and contemporary fine art. The production of vessels, sculptures and other workpieces from ceramic materials has a long cultural and historical development that can be traced back to around 6000 years BC. The history of ceramics in the Near East and Europe goes back as far as 11,000 BC. attested tradition in Japan reflects. From these beginnings, the production of ceramics has developed into a specialized craft for the production of everyday objects (e.g. storage, cooking and eating utensils), but also for the aesthetic design of the human environment (e.g. by decorating walls and floors with ceramic tiles, which already is detectable in the ancient Orient). The potter's wheel was a modeling technique developed early on. On this basis of craftsmanship, artistic designs and stylistic refinements have arisen since antiquity. Examples include the Chinese terracotta armies or Chinese porcelain, Greek vase painting, Roman ceramic mosaic, Korean celadon ceramics, European Renaissance majolica and faience techniques, Delftware ceramics and other techniques inspired by Chinese porcelain called. Here, in the design of ceramic objects, a diverse aesthetic deepening and specialized design language has developed, which, in retrospect of art and cultural history, assigns the character of ceramic art to such products - although created as functional ceramics and decorative ceramics.
