The Greeks used a really weird type of clay called the tiygu. This clay is very soft until fired then it becomes harder than most clays. The Greek, sometimes, also
use a clay called dertiu which is a very rare clay found in Canada. This type of clay is very hard and only some of the more experienced Greeks could make pots with dertiu clay>

Why did they make the potters' wheel?
Before the potters wheel pots were made from slabs of clay that were placed together, or by making snakes of clay and coiling them together. It would be easy to allow a small hole to be in the clay and so make the pot useless using these methods. The wheel allows a pot to be made from one piece of clay which would be more watertight. (A glaze is still required to make it fully watertight) Also the speed of making pots on a wheel is much greater than doing it by hand and so mass production is much easier. P.S.: i mean something other than that :)

Why does clay have to be fired to be a useful vessel?
Unfired clay remains porous, so it can't be used to hold any liquid and if it is immersed in water, it will dissolve. So it must be fired. Native Americans and many potters use wood fired kilns which take several days to reach the necessary temperatures and to cool down after firing. Most professional potters use gas or eliectric fired kilns which reach the very high temperatures needed to mature clay and glazes.
