Pottery in Southeast Asia is as diverse as its ethnic groups. Each ethnic group has their own set of standards when it comes to pottery arts. Potteries are made due to various reasons, such as trade, food and beverage storage, kitchen usage, religious ceremonies, and burial purposes.<ref>The pottery trail from Southeast Asia to remote Oceania, MT Carson, H Hung, G Summerhayes, 2013</ref><ref>The incised & impressed pottery style of mainland Southeast Asia: following the paths of Neolithization
