Аннотация: в данной статье рассматриваются ранние этапы развития одного из видов материальной культуры азербайджанского народа - художественной керамики. Исторические памятники, в том числе образцы художественной керамики, позволяют изучить многовековой образ жизни, значимость и материальный прогресс создавшего ее народа. Человеческая культура, как известно, строится на лучших достижениях прошлого и развивается по восходящей линии по диалектическим законам. Статья позволяет проследить периоды развития азербайджанского керамического искусства, направления исторического развития, новации в его художественном и техническом развитии. Рассматриваются способы производства керамики покрытой цветной глазурью и бесцветной (прозрачной) глазурью, в том числе их разные образцы: керамика без украшения и с лепным украшением, рельефной орнаментацией, расписанная ангобом и расцвеченная красками. На основе материалов дан анализ развития Азербайджанской керамики, показаны ее основные производственные центры, на какой основе она развивалась и общие черты с керамикой соседних стран Востока и ее самобытность, связи с соседними керамическими центрами.

Первые образцы гончарных изделий в Азербайджане известны еще из памятников неолита. Однако в этих памятниках довольно мало археологических материалов, отражающих первый этап производства керамики. Керамика этого периода была технологически грубой, типологически однообразной. Она не получила такого широкого распространения, так как еще не приобрела достаточно зрелой формы, когда только сформировалась. Для изготовления этих сосудов простым ручным способом, сначала замешивали гончарную глину из смеси песочного или растительного происхождения и придавали ей эластичность, а затем из нее формировали соответствующий вид изделия. Вероятнее всего вначале этим занимались женщины. Простые типологические виды неолитической посуды, с довольно грубым внешним видом, носили универсальный характер в тогдашнем быту и использовались для различных целей (для хранения пищи, приготовления пищи, транспортировки жидкости и т. д.). Хотя сосуды энеолита были относительно усовершенствованы по форме и типологии,они все еще характеризовались толстым корпусом, шероховатой поверхностью и несимметричностью, поскольку формировались вручную, а не на гончарном круге (7,117).

По характеру примеси, добавляемой в состав гончарной глины, энеолитические сосуды делятся на две группы, минеральные ( песок, обсидиановые крошки) и ботанические (шелуха зерновых, солома и т. д) (3,84). Энеолитические сосуды также привлекают внимание своим
