Stock photography, photos: Pottery - Ghana Stock photos of Local pottery from the Krobo area of the Eastern Region of Ghana, West Africa. Traditional pottery in Ghana is simple and functional. Glaze is not common and the color of the pot depends largely on the type of clay used, although some pots are black from the smoke created during firing. Pots are still used to prepare, cook, and store food. There are no kilns as such. Pots are simply piled together on the ground, covered with dried dung, grass, sawdust, or whatever's available, and set ablaze with wood kindling.
