Why do the potteries not make pottery?

Without more information about your question, it is hard to be clear about why potteries don't make pottery. If you are referring to a pottery wheel not correctly producing pottery, there may be an issue with the wheel's functioning or the material being used. The clay may not be the right consistency or of the right composition.

How was Qingbai ware made and why?

Well there is not a real reason to "why" qingbai ware was made. Rather, people most likely wanted different pottery that would be more versatile or durable. Qingbai was easy for common people to use and produce. People could wash it easily and could cook their food in in Qingbai easily without having the pottery break. Also, qingbai was another variation in color that had a blueish or sometimes white-like color. Qingbai's are usually made in kilns which are like huge mounds of ovens to bake pottery. Qingbai is also used for aesthetics uses as one can make pottery into vases and other materials.

Is the Pueblo Native American Pottery rare?

It depends on the age of the pot, its condition, who made it and how it was made. Pueblo pottery has been made for thousands of years and early Anasazi pottery is quite rare in good condition. Contemporary pueblo pottery is made in two ways: the traditional method which is hand-coiled (no potter's wheel) and fired in an outdoor pit (no kiln); and the non-traditional method which can use a wheel and/or a kiln. Generally speaking the traditional works are more valuable due to the extreme difficulty of building a pot without the use of a wheel and firing outdoors where a large percentage of pots do not survive the firing process. Of course pottery with no chips, scratches or other blemishes is more valuable than those which have condition issues. Finally, the value of contemporary pottery depends a great deal on the reputation and skill of the artist who made it, just as in any other art form. Small pots made for sale in souvenir shops sell for a few dollars apiece while pots by some of the current masters sell for thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars.

What is the prehistoric ice age?

There were three Ice Ages. One came just before hominids began to evolve from scratchy monkeys (sorry, apes). Then another turned up when neanderthals were busy trying to learn to hunt mammoths and other ancient animals. When the last one emerged, it found the Neanderthals long extinct. Each Ice Age stayed for around 10,000 years. (Chilly, eh?) The prehistoric Ice Age was the first one that I mentioned. (By the way, Neanderthals were flat footed, short hominids with thick brow ridges. They had weak tolerating power and ate anything they found when they got hungry. This also meant they ate poisonous plants without knowing it, which is one reason they couldn't stay for long. Of course you already knew that.)

How did Native Americans heat water without metal containers?

They didn't have metals pots but they did have skin pots. The Indians used animal skin, they shaped into a pot, poured water in it and hung it beside their fire. Theythen heated the water by taking rocks from the fire and putting them in the pot. When the rocks got cool they would remove them and put more in. They kept doing this until the water boiled. In addition, they had pottery pots, which could withstand high heat, as well as birch bark containers, which were used like the skins.
