Pottery traditions that continue through ages

Clay pottery is an environmentally friendly material, given to us by nature and filled with the energy of the earth. Clay is alive and soft. It is important to understand clay pottery not only with his hands, but with a soul. Our ancestors knew about this goodness. In fact, pottery has been developing in worldwide and in countries like Ukraine for a long time. This type of decorative and ecofriendly living is a bright example of the richness of the evidence that people continue to demand, setting new standards of values in everyday life and bestowing aesthetic beauty in the process of its growth.

Ukrainian cuisine is rich in all kinds of relish, and the preparation of different dishes has been a tradition of Ukrainians. They historically used utensils created by hand and made of earthenware.

Handmade pottery looks more authentic. Wine becomes the perfect accompaniment to any meal, allowing you to taste the rich richness of our ancestors. You can immediately see a lump of fresh milk, a mountain of Ukrainian borscht, and savory dumplings on a poured plate.

Clay is nothing less than a living material, which is why it is so useful to work with. Having discovered for yourself the miraculous power of earthenware, you will realize how it reflects your spiritual state and unites you with nature. Having been born thousands of years ago, clay has collected in itself a great amount of natural energy, which it generously shares with those who stick to it. In addition, clay has the ability to absorb negative energy and transform it, thereby avoiding illnesses.

When you rub a clay pottery cup between the sides, you can feel it warming up from the warmth of your hands, and you feel calmer. This means that the clay takes away all the negativity and suddenly fills you with the energy of the sun, water, wind and space, accumulated over thousands of years. Earthenware interacts in a similar way with any product that interacts with it. The hedgehog is placed in clay dishes, cleansed and replenished with the healing power of clay.

While the energetic potential of clay can be questioned, then its natural powers are clear. Clay pottery preserves vitamins in herbs and spices, ensures that cold and hot drinks are kept at the required temperature, imparts a unique aroma and relish to drinks and hot herbs, served in earthenware.
