Description: Antique Kosiv Ceramics Ukrainian Jug Dzban Unique Hutsul Heritage 1920-30s Weight - 515 grams Height - 16.5 cm Kosiv painted ceramics is a traditional national Hutsul craft, one of the varieties of Ukrainian ceramics. On December 13, 2019, Kosiv Painted Ceramics was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Hutsul ceramics production technique - "gritting" or "engraving" - is a painting of a product covered with white clay and dried. After the first firing in a pottery kiln, the product is painted with green, brown, yellow, rarely blue paints. The product is covered with a transparent glaze and fired a second time. This technique is unique and the only one in the world. Only three colors are used: green, yellow, brown-red, and occasionally blue splashes are added. Most of the products were sharpened by the potters on the potter's wheel, and they mainly made household utensils from local raw materials - dark gray clay, which gave a red tint when fired. The product formed on a potter's machine or molded was slightly dried and the surface was sprinkled with "whitewash" (white clay), which was brought from the central and eastern regions of Ukraine. The clay has this name because it was used to whitewash a house or stove. "Whitewash" (angob) was ground or ground in drums with water, brought to the desired thickness, filtered, and then watered the product. Next, the dishes were dried to such a state that the engobe did not stick to the hands. This is how the product was prepared for painting. Technological traditions have survived through the ages. The product is clean and can be used as an object of decoration or become part of your collection. I do combine shipping. Postal service is Ukrposhta.
