Uzbek Ceramics

Traveling through the different cities of Uzbekistan, you’ll find that each place has its style of ceramics. The schools in each region differ from those in other regions, with differences showing up in the colors, designs, shapes, and ceramics techniques. Rishton, in the Fergana Valley, is particularly famous for its ceramics. The artisans here use a special blue glaze, called “ishkor”. Ishkor is made from natural minerals and plants and gives the ceramics from this school a special blue tint not found anywhere else.
