Marginea Black Poterry

A must do when visiting Bucovina. Unique pottery to take home. Also great local food, like “scrijele” and “ciorba radauteana”

This place is really important in terms of local and national heritage as pottery and this particular style of clay pottery is important for preserving local traditions. Here is the perfect place to get souvenirs that are handcrafted and each piece even though masterfully made is unique. Also it is a good location for finding other types of souvenirs around. If you are lucky you can also see artisans at work.

It's a wonderful place with various hand-made black ceramic products unique in Europe. They have a various and beautiful products, from bowls to vases and elaborately crafted handicraft ornaments. I urge you to cross their threshold, because you can also see the creation of the products live, in the pottery room. ❤

We did a trip around Bucovina and we’ve been impressed how the black ceramic tradition was preserved. Impressive. We recommend visitors to spoke with staff to find out more about history of the place & ceramic makers and spend sometime in workshop.

The place is amazing! The ceramics made manual by the workers takes your breath away. The desing combines the old tradition with the futere. In the same place they have a good place to eat where the food is delicios. Please try "ciorbita de vacuta".

An absolutely wonderful place to visit. Here you can find anything from plates to vases. Everything is done with so much detail and passion. This place is probably a very unique place in Romania. You should definitely visit Marginea Black pottery shop. The prices here are affordable. There's also a possibility for you to park your car on the side of the main street.

Unique Romanian pottery with distinguished black colour and superb finishing, definitely worth a visit.

Perfect for a chance to see expert potters at work.
Especially fascinating for children.
Most items in the shop are cheaper than what you would find at festivals.
If you plan to buy some traditional clothes, the small shop across the street is slightly cheaper than the bigger one near the ceramics complex.

Absolutely amazing experience. The town used to have a great tradition of pottery, in particular the type of pottery specific to the region: black ceramics. Whilst there were entire families who could make these nowadays there's only 10 trained people who still can do it. The skill and speed with which they do it is impressive, definitely makes it look easy. If you try and do their hands on mini-workshop you'll quickly see that is definitely not the case. Sad to realise... But fun.
They have a shop in their other room full of their pottery and I do recommend it. Got a lot of compliments on the items we brought over to the UK.

very good food, really liked the restaurant, the staff

you should try the sweet cheese dumplings and their local soup, ciorba rădăuțeană, 10/10

Great diversity of black ceramic items. You can also visit the workshop and also see the Craftsman at work.

Renowned for their black ceramics, you can also watch it live being hand made. A lot of nice stuff to buy in the shops.

Small place, but worth visiting

They have a wide variety of ceramic items most of them made in house. We also liked that you can visit the workshop and interact with the guys that are making the pots.

Here you can see how pots, mugs and plates are made from burnt black clay. They are available in the store. You have to ask in the shop and they will lead you to the clay modeling area.

A place where you can see how pottery is made and where you can buy unique, beautiful objects.

Extremely recommended!!

Great hand made products. You can easy look to the artists working there,ask questions and more. Buses with kids often stop there to see and learn this art. Great shop with medium prices.

Live demonstration of the pottery process, a beautiful and affordable ceramic shop

Is so good to see it live how the pottery is made.
