Small handmade ceramic platterbowl Bar style with Young Ladies motif Ceramics of Podillia

This handmade "Barska" ceramic bowl, featuring the "Pannochky" (Young Ladies) motif, is the work of artisans from the "Keramika Podillia" collective in the Vinnytsia region. They are dedicated to reviving Ukraine's cultural heritage by crafting tableware adorned with the traditional designs of their native area.

"Barska" ceramics represent a renowned folk craft from the town of Bar in the Podillia region.

In the 19th century, Bar was a major center of pottery production; its wares were celebrated for their elegance, distinctive white background, and graphic style. The craft's signature features include slip-trailing (applying paint with a horn-shaped tool) and "flankuvannia" (a technique involving the blending of colors), creating an organic harmony of white, green, ochre-yellow, and brown tones.

These plates are more than just tableware; they are genuine protective talismans crafted according to authentic Podillia traditions.

Made from natural, eco-friendly clay and finished with a safe glaze, this piece is perfect for daily use and for serving both hot and cold dishes.
