With Cádiz, Seville is the province with the highest rate of closures and largest loss of potteries. By the end of the 1970s, only Lora and Lebrija continued to be active. Pottery in the province was mostly characterised with the production of what is referred to as whiteware ("blancos"), that is unglazed pieces to hold liquids, apart from some glazed pieces that are documented in Lora del Río.

Three pottery traditions existed in Seville: those making whiteware (unglazed household pieces), of which only one maker remained in 1980; pot-makers (ceramic kitchenware), which disappeared some time ago; and, ceramicists (painted tin-glazed pieces), which are not part of pottery. Seville probably influenced on the surrounding towns: Carmona, El Viso, Mairena, Alcalá, Sanlúcar la Mayor, etc., that has practically disappeared. Carmona, on the other hand, is unusual since, although the techniques are similar to elsewhere, other factors, such as the construction of the kilns, the pressing of clay and the modelling process are different.
