  • Jorwe pots are well baked giving a metallic sound. They are red in colour with designs painted in black. 
  • Jorwe pottery includes shapes like spouted pots, carinated bowls, and troughs, lota, globular jars, etc. 
  • The late Jorwe people made pots of the same shapes but without any decoration. 
  • Potters kilns were found in both Malwa and Early Jorwe periods.
  • They were round in shape. The kiln of the early Jowre period was larger and of greater capacity. 
  • In the late Jorwe period potters did not have a specially built kiln. They baked their pots directly on the ground. 
  • Inamgaon was the centre of pottery production which supplied pottery to the surrounding villages.
