I decided for something different now, a photo I took two days ago. This is a traditional plate from Horezu, my hometown. There are many other models, our emblem is “Cocosul de Hurez” (Hurez’s rooster) and it’s frequently painted on the plates, but I prefer this kind of model.
We are very proud of our pottery, it has been included in UNESCO’s universal heritage and there are many tourists that buy all kind of pottery here. This plate was around $4, but there are bigger ones that can go up to $30 or more.
Hope you like it!
P.S. I missed 2 or 3 days here, got some problems to solve and wasn’t able to get online, so I couldn’t do my “Daily post”. Well back to notifications now, take care everyone!
It has a very impressive ornament
I’m glad you liked it. This is a very common design on the local pottery ?.
The pottery is really cool.
is it hand made?
Yes, every single piece that was ever made there is hand made and unique. Tomorrow I’ll post another picture of one of my plates, a slightly bigger one ?.
It is very impressive, must take a long time to make them.
Indeed, it takes some time. There are several stages a piece goes through before looking like that ?.
Or in my case giving up and buying someone else’s creation!
It is a beautiful and impressive traditional plate! Worthy to accept UNESCO’s universal heritage.
Thank you, Albert! I have some more plates, but I just couldn’t find the time to photograph them ?. They are all pretty ?.
I really like the design on this plate. Would be nice to have a set of them.
I’m glad you liked it ?. It’s a very common design, but a pretty one too. You can have a set, but the plates won’t be exactly the same, they are all handmade and this means there will be some differences in execution ?.
This looked like a smart pottery unit.you are from Rwanda
Well, not Rwanda, I’m from Romania ?.
Yup, I love the green patterns, that’s what made me buy it. I’ll post another one, slightly bigger, it has a dark blue color ?.
It’s artistically designed. I would love to have it on my table.
It looks great on the table, especially on special occasions and if there are more plates like this one.
sometimes you just can’t get online. I understand…
It happens, real life always kicks in at some point ?.
perhaps that is a good thing
It is ?. I enjoy my life, even if there is enough stress in it ?.
you can’t control the stressors in your life, but you can control how you react to them…
Lovely pottery very pretty……..
Thank you, Pamela! I’m really thinking about posting pictures with all the plates and mugs that I have. Well, I have just a few now, gave most of them as gifts for friends and family ?.
It’s a good idea to do that…….I like hand made pottery
I like it too, there are many places in the world where you can find beautiful pottery.
It is an amazing piece of pottery. I love it
Yes, most people love them ?. And they are quite cheap and interesting on the table when you eat.
Love this a lot. The colors are really nice.
I think so too. Maybe I’ll post more photos with different pottery pieces. They are all handmade and unique. You won’t find two that are identical ?.
Foarte frumos! Am si eu cateva piese din ceramica de Horezu. Sper sa se pastreze aceasta meserie traditionala! Stii sa prelucrezi astfel de piese?
Cand eram copii, ne invatau cum sa lucram cu roata olarului in ateliere, dar asta a fost inainte de ’89 ?. Am niste prieteni care se ocupa cu asta, unul dintre ei este Laurentiu Pietraru, posibil sa fi auzit de el ?.
Am auzit! Cred ca este foarte interesant!
Daaaa, sunt unele piese absolut superbe! Cocosul de Hurez este acum, pe 1 iunie, dar eu nu pot ajunge pentru ca sunt de serviciu ?.
