Sarawak pottery is of two distinctive types - one done by the Iban, Murut and Kelabit potters and the other by Chinese potters. Kuching's (Capital of Sarawak) pottery industry can be traced back to the mid-19th Century when immigrant Chinese artisans arrived in Sarawak and set up commercial operations to cater for the local market. Prior to this, local Sarawakians produced a limited volume of pots using clay from Tanah Puteh, a clay bed located next to the Sarawak River that flows through Kuching. The tiny cottage industry produced a limited volume of pit-fired pots for domestic use.
The skilled potters that came to Borneo were almost exclusively Teochew, from Fukkien province in China. Having acquired the skills of their craft in the kilns of their home province they set sail for the 'south seas' to seek employment and perhaps make their fortune.
