The pots are once again dried and the color painting follows: red made of clay rich in iron oxide, brown and black made of a special clay found after rain, green made of the scum produced by the copper wire burnt in the oven, yellow obtained from Medgidia clay, and blue - cobalt. Subsequently, the pots are burnt in the oven at over 900 degrees. After the first burning, the pots are glazed, and after the second burning the colors become vivid. Natural color pottery is burnt only once, and the other two times. Burning takes 8 hours, and cooling 18 hours. Ornamental patterns are stylish floral and zoomorphic. The most common motifs are the tulip, the blackcock and the edelweiss.
Wiping with a soft wet cloth or handwashing is recommended.
