Constantin & Georgeta

A free ice cream to help us cope a little better with the 40-degree heat that day, and tomatoes from their garden for our dinner.

Constantin and Georgeta are known for their profound kindness; they carry on the pure tradition of Horezu pottery through their plates, whose colors and patterns are so typical of this village, where they are recognized as leading figures.

Sharing the chores in their home workshop In the heart of Horezu, in a workshop whose walls are covered with colorful plates, the two of them carry on a unique craft with elegance and precision. 

HOREZU

Horezu is a village home to a community of about fifty artisans who handcraft traditional ceramics using methods that date back more than three hundred years. One example of this is the use of ox horn and a feather to glaze the pieces. 

In 2012, Horezu pottery was recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.
