Terracotta is a term usually used to define the sculptures made in earthenware, and also those forms created for various utilitarian purposes like vessels, flower pots, bricks, and surface add-ons in buildings. Terracotta in the Italian language means “baked earth”. It is a type of earthenware, which is either clay-based un-glazed or glazed form of ceramic.

Terracotta has been in existence for a very long time. In fact, it is believed to be the only clay product which has been being used since the 14th century. Archaeologists have found many terracotta sculptures, which are more than 5,000 years old.
