Bulgarian Troyan Soup Bowl

Bulgarian Pottery - magical imagery for today's home

Troyan Style: This decorative style is known internationally as the 'true Bulgarian pottery'. It's magical imagery has been compared to peacocks and butterflies. Traditionally each woman had her own recognizable and unique style.

The Peace Company is honored to offer traditional Bulgarian pottery from a company created to assist Bulgarians after the Soviet Union collapsed. Made in the ceramic capital of Troyan, these ceramics are hand-formed by men while the decorative work is patiently applied by the tender loving touches of women; it’s magical imagery has been compared to peacocks and butterflies.

Considered a sacred art, Bulgarian potters have carefully protected their unique secrets within each family of artisans. And though born of ancient lineage, Bulgarian pottery easily integrates in the most contemporary of homes.

Bulgaria is a hidden jewel that has been hidden away for decades. The marriage of ancient cultures such as Thrace and the Ottoman Empire, have resulted in the creation of this mysterious and vital nation. Bulgarians draw their roots deep from the ancient gods. From the lineage of Dionysus, God of Merriment, they inherited an appreciation for a life filled with revelry; everywhere you turn, there is celebratory music, dancing, food and wine! And their glorious handmade pottery expresses this joy of living.
