Lyagan Spring Blessing

This lyagan is turned on a mechanical modelling machine from red clay and coated with white engobe by the pouring method. After the initial firing, dust was applied with a damp sponge, and then the design was sketched in pencil. The style of decoration is inspired by Bukhara traditional ceramics of the 18th and 19th centuries. Diamond-shaped decor represents the sun, the turquoise rim with a brown frame is life-giving water.
