HOREZU CERAMICS. CRAFTSMANSHIP AND SYMBOLS OF A UNESCO HERITAGE ELEMENT

Horezu, county of Vâlcea, produces one of the most beautiful and refined ceramics in Romania. The traditional elements, the old shapes and the motifs preserved over the years, with the help from the knowledge and specific techniques, convert the ceramics here into objects of art and civilization. Since December 2012, the traditional Horezu ceramics, along with the techniques associated, has been included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Elements of Humanity.
