Description: TROYAN POTTERY Vintage Bulgarian Redware Dessert Plates Set of 6 Similar to those being sold at Anthropologie Hand Painted Diameter: 6 3/4" Hand Painted Made in Bavaria Peacock Eye Design Made of high quality red clay Vintage 1950's Good Condition- a few plates have some scratches (see close up photos) Troyan pottery comes from a village in Bulgaria, a location rich in clay deposits that carry a unique red color. Traditionally, the pieces were hand painted by village women that each carried her own signature design. Today, the pottery is produced from only a few artisan workshops that hand-throw each piece on a foot-powered wheel before glazing it with brilliant, display-worthy designs. Hand-glazed red clay. Due to the handcrafted nature of this item, expect slight variation in the appearance of each unique piece. Dishwasher and microwave safe.The main center of ceramic production is the city of Troyan, and Troyan ceramics are considered the “true” Bulgarian pottery. Troyan is a small town in North Bulgaria located on the banks of the Beli Ossam River in the foothills of the Balkan Mountains.According to legend, the mandala designs are linked to the peacocks of the court of the Ottoman empire. A Bulgarian might debate you on this point, I found them to be extremely sensitive about their centuries-long occupation by the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
