Gzhel ceramics

The artisans of Gzhel create porcelain items with a distinct white background adorned with cobalt blue floral patterns and geometric designs.

The region's pottery production began in the early 1700s when local craftsmen discovered deposits of high-quality white clay suitable for ceramics manufacturing.

Each piece of Gzhel ceramics reflects traditional Russian artistic elements through detailed paintings of winter landscapes, rural scenes, and decorative patterns.

The ceramic workshops in Ramensky District produce functional items such as tea sets, plates, vases, and decorative pieces available in local stores.

The Gzhel State Art and Industry College maintains the centuries-old techniques by training new generations of ceramic artists in traditional methods.
