Answer by  Mable (3008)

Functional pottery is useful for purposes beyond decorative ones -- pieces include plates, platters, mugs, bowls, jugs and vases. It is certainly possible to have functional potery that is also art: my partner and I collect Native American pottery, for instance, that is both artistic and functional.

Functional pottery is your favorite coffee mug or that lovely plate you use for a candy dish when entertaining friends.
