The Colibaba Pottery Studio in Radauti, Romania

The highlight of our Romanian vacation was visiting the pottery studio "Atelierul de Ceramica Colibaba" inside the Ethnographic Museum in Radauti. For many generations, members of the Colibaba family have made a distinctive type of folk pottery, characterised by sgraffito decoration through a layer of white slip, exposing the red clay beneath. The yellow, green and brown glazes that highlight the carved designs are very warm and beautiful. This traditional style of folk pottery from Bucovina is known as "Ceramica de Cuty", often spelled "Kuty" outside of Romania. Photos taken by me, during our visit to Romania in May, 2006.

imi cer scuze ca m-am enervat, dar nici eu nu ma referam la Rep. Moldova ... zona Bucovinei e zona Bucovinei, iar zona Moldovei e zona Moldovei ... te rog nu fa confuzie ;)

wazzzupo, Radauti este un oras din Romaniei! Eu am avut in gand minunatele excursii din Moldova, nordul Moldovei,facute cu multi ani in urma! Nu am gresit! Si in zona noastra sunt tinuturi istorice, dar spunem Oltenia, chiar daca vorbim despre Olt, Valcea, Dolj, Gorj, Mehedinti! Stefan cel Mare a fost domnitorul Moldovei, o tara minunata, cu frumoase tinuturi, pe care le stim si le respectam... nu m-am referit, in niciun caz, la Republica Moldova de acum!!!
