The art and production of pottery in Cyprus dates back to prehistoric times. Since 6000 BC, the human communities that came to the island have brought the art of making clay objects to the island. Pottery, which was one of the most creative areas of ancient Cypriot art, and bequeathed by the craftsmen of that period, was also included in the book "Traditional Pottery of Cyprus" written by Glori London. So much so that Giovani Mariti, an Italian priest, came to Cyprus in 1772 to learn the technique of preserving wine and how to make the cube called pithari. 

On the island, pottery, which is a constantly developing area, was produced and continues to be produced not only for the local market, but also for the foreign market. These cultural objects, which are obtained by baking soil and clay in the oven, also have a method called "glaze". It is also known that the most famous and original ceramics, especially in Cyprus, are the Lapitos ceramics, which have double firing and colorful rows. 

Although it is known that the cubes were constructed in the square and at the entrance to store wine and different drinks, it was a garden decoration, integrating with an authentic touch and respect for craft. Today, it is possible to come across similar areas or private residences called "pithari".
