During its prehistoric and early historic periods, the island of Cyprus has a good claim to having produced some of the best potters and coroplasts (a fancy name for makers of clay - or terracotta - figurines) that the Mediterranean has ever known.

Indeed, although their numbers are now steadily being depleted, Cyprus is still home to a few village-based communities of traditional potters whose work is quite widely disseminated on the island (see, for example, Gloria London et al., Traditional pottery in Cyprus (1990)).
