Russia's Gzhel


Gzhel happens to be the name of a major ceramics center in Moscow. Though the secrets of the craft were handed down from generation to generation long before, Gzhel rose to fame as a large center of ceramics in the 18th century when local potters mastered the making of ceramics. Still it serves one of the best ceramic pieces in the world.
