content: Edited film: a potter demonstrates the creation of a clay pitcher. The clay is kneaded and rolled, and the jug is formed by hand. When the container can no longer be turned by the potter, she moves around it in order to finish her work. Once the pitcher is dried and painted, it goes through a firing process. The last scene shows how the jug is carried by women.
