Abstract
Water, which has been of great importance since the existence of the world and human history, forms the basis of the emergence of the first civilizations and the transition of humanity to settled life. In addition, since the basis of the existence and extinction of civilizations, people have had the need to store and carry water in pots since ancient times. Contributing to the development of civilizations through the ages and being one of the first inventions of humanity; Many ceramic pots have been produced to meet their daily needs. One of the pots made with earth, water and fire is waterpots. The first waterpots were produced from potter products due to the need for transportation, storage and storage, and took their place in daily life with their forms and functions throughout history. While the waterpots were initially produced in a plain and simple manner, they developed in terms of form and decoration through various periods. Among the Turkish States established in Anatolia, the Anatolian Seljuks are considered the most important as the synthesis of multinationality and culture. During the Anatolian Seljuk period, waterpots were made not only for the storage and transportation of water, but also for the production of original pots reflecting the rich cultures of different societies. Many of the decoration techniques used in the ceramic art of the Anatolian Seljuk Period, which gained a national identity, were also used in waterpots. In this article; The data obtained as a result of the research and examination of the waterpots related to the Anatolian Seljuk Period and the structure of the waterpots and the decor techniques applied in these waterpots were examined.
