The people of ancient Maya approached the art of ceramics in a manner which actually no other culture did.

The Vase of the Seven Gods,made in the area of Naranjo,an ancient city of the Maya civ?ilization,shows the fine way the Maya handled clay. There is no evidence of burned marks,but the clay maintains an even width all around. A special box was used to fire this to equally dis?tribute the heat. The mere fact that so much effort was spent on the creation of this vase alone shows the importance of ceramics to the Maya people. Like all art of Maya,this vase exhibits highly religious symbols. Furthermore,the artist's name is marked along the bottom of this piece in the form of a small white rabbit.

Ceramics also served as reminders of ancestors,God,and spirituality. Color was often used as an indicator,and research shows that artists actually applied the pigments to each work in a far different manner than is typically used today. The Fleur De Lis vase is a fine example. The water lilies are not only symbols of new birth and life giving qualities,but a constant re?minder of purity. On this vase,the water lilies are white,which is undoubtedly a sign of purity.

Furthermore,ceramics served a great level of ftxnctionality in the Maya culture. Vases,which are quite commonly seen today,were used primarily for the consumption of liquid choco?late and cocoa. Bowls were used to serve various maize (corn) products. This practice holds extreme spiritual importance,because maize is seen as the body of the Maize God. The ancient Maya thought if they ate maize,or the body of God from the bowl,they actually became God. Far less specifically,plates were merely used for any object which should not be consumed from a vase or bowl.

Finally,Maya used depictions―cravings or paintings―on ceramics to resurrect family members and honor god. Because they believed that they would rise from the dead with their name spoken or their figures drawn or painted,the depictions on these ceramics played a vital role in Maya spirituality.

Clearly,ceramics served a key function in ancient Maya society.
