The pottery material from the Indus Valley was produced on the wheel. It is both plain and decorative with designs painted in black colour on a red surface. Half a dozen kilns in a potter's quarter where the ware was manufactured have been found. They are circular pits of 6'-7' diameter with a perforated floor and arrangement for smoke to escape. Red ochre or earth from Hurmuz seems to have been used for the red slip on the pots.
