Because of some socioeconomic problems, pottery and ceramics crafts were deteriorated in Iran after Safavied era (sixteenth century A.D). Meanwhile, Porcelain factories were developed in European countries such as France and Germany and former the Soviet Union. Importing of cheap products from those countries repressed the production and innovation of Iranian pottery and ceramic crafts that was mainly dependent on the old traditional techniques. The establishment of porcelain factories in Iran was another reason for deterioration of pottery and ceramic crafts in Iran despite the fact that they were invaluable from the artistic point of view. As a result, most of the pottery and ceramics studios were suspended. Therefore the numbers of potters, are decreasing year by year.
