How can I get free information about the history of Pottery all around the world?
How it's begun, from where and when? How it expands till now? Is there any one can help me?

- I'd check out the wikipedia article on Pottery.
- Check out anthropology and archeology texts. Pottery shards are their "bread and butter". Ther are probably similar texts to these, Janson's "History of Art" (world) and Willey's "Introduction to American Archeology", covering pottery and early civilization in the Western hemisphere. If you live in a major metro area, chances are your local museum of natural science probably includes some good stuff in their early man sections. I know the Chicago one has some great stuff. And then of course there is the Internet.
- As Geoff recommended, try Wikipedia...that was my answer and then i saw his, he is right.......it is a bottomless source of information!!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!!Also as Olivia stated, look up archeology and the Egyptians, the making of porcelain and the difference between it, which is the clay and heating of certain elements indigenous to whatever regions you are interested in...for as the clay from different parts of the world is different, the finished product is also going to be different from place to place.
- Your local library is a good start. Otherwise, Google it! The 'Net can provide you with a wealth of resources. Here are a few you can start with:
