Bulgarian Pottery


Bulgarian pottery is both unique and highly-sought after in the world of ceramics.



The ceramical historical influence began 3000 years ago when the Thracians settled into Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian people were previously decendents of Slavs and the Russian Empire before the Bulgars finally came and settled in amongst the slavs.

Pottery among other fine arts and crafts were known as a way of self expression, and cultural ties to Bulgarian heritage.



Ancient Balkan pottery is well known for its Thracian influence, which has also been influenced by Greek culture.

Thracian pottery began to shine around the time that the Slavic people and the Bulgars settled.

The pottery works themselves date back to around 340 BC. 10th century painted ceramics can be found in Preslav ceramics.

The best place for original pottery hunting is in Nova Zagora South East of Bulgaria).

Nova Zagora is a small and charming town found somewhat near to the Turkish Border.
