Bulgarian pottery is both unique and highly

sought after in the world of ceramics. The

ceramic historical influence began 3,000 years

ago when the Thracians settled into Bulgaria,

and pottery remains have been unearthed that

date back to these first settlers.

When most people think of Bulgarian pottery, they will conjure up images of Troyan pottery.

Considered the purest form of Bulgarian pottery, Troyan pottery resembles the stripes and

simplistic designs favored by the Thracians and Slavs. It makes use of the local red clay,

which gives it a distinctive color and texture. Traditionally, the items are circular and

decorated with a peacock-like design, with small raindrop effects created by painting with

the fingers. However, modern artisans will use up-to-date techniques to provide richer

colors and longer lasting glazes.
