Pottery from Marginea is a result of the use of a production technology belonging to the Horodiştea - Floreşti culture, the most thriving period of the Geto-Dacian black ceramics.

The clay is brought from the outskirts of the village, the pots are molded on the wheel, dried for at least 10 days in the sun, burnt for about 10 hours with resinous wood in open kilns, at a temperature that rises up to 800 degrees Celsius, after which all in and out holes of the kiln are filled with pots, manure and clay. In this way, smoldering occurs, which takes about 24 hours; meanwhile the carbon oxide penetrates the walls of the pots, leading to the black color. Two techniques of ornamentation are used: indentation and glazing. The indentation consists of applying a wheel on the raw pot, and glazing is made with a river stone.
