Major types include  earthenware ,  stoneware  and  porcelain . The place where such wares are made by a  potter  is also called a  pottery  (plural "potteries"). The definition of  pottery  used by the  American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) , is "all fired ceramic wares that contain clay when formed, except technical, structural, and refractory products."

Toddy-Tapping have been since time immemorial the primary occupations of villagers, though urban office employment and overseas shipping jobs have significantly detracted from the numbers of youth choosing to enter into the occupation of their fathers. Even today the income derived from toddy-tapping is lucrative owing to the subsequent production of feni, the local drink famous throughout Goa .
