🌿 Why Georgian Ceramics Are More Than Just Tableware

Georgian ceramics aren’t just functional items — they are a reflection of culture, heritage, and soul. Each piece, whether a clay mug, a painted plate, or a traditional ketsi, carries the warmth of handmade craft and centuries-old symbolism.

Since ancient times, ceramics have been part of daily life, rituals, feasts, and celebrations in Georgia. Today, they are back in style — as cozy home accents, artistic pieces, and symbols of conscious living.

When you choose Georgian ceramics, you’re choosing a story — and bringing a bit of sunny Tbilisi into your home.


💛 What to Buy — From Traditional Pieces to Contemporary Finds

In Tbilisi, you’ll find ceramics for every taste — from traditional ketsi for baking and wine horns to minimalist plates and artist-designed mugs made by local creatives.

If you're looking for something authentically Georgian, go for red clay bowls, hand-painted dishes with folk motifs, or rough-textured vessels. Prefer modern aesthetics? Explore studio collections with geometric lines, pastel glazes, and organic shapes.

Each piece can be both a decorative object and a practical gift to brighten your everyday life.


🖌️ Handcraft as Art — Where Unique Pieces Are Truly Made

True Georgian ceramics aren't mass-produced. They're born in small studios where each item is shaped, fired, and painted by hand. Artisans experiment with form, glaze, and texture — inspired by nature, tradition, and modern Tbilisi life.

When you visit these studios, you’re not just buying ceramics — you’re stepping into a story. You can watch the process, talk to the artist, and sometimes even order a custom piece. This is the kind of tableware that has real character.

It’s more than a purchase — it’s a meaningful memory.

Ekaterina Maltseva, Kaluga:
"I’ve always loved ceramics, and in Tbilisi I found a real treasure. Thanks to your guide, I visited a small studio where the owner crafts and paints every cup by hand. I brought home a few plates — they’ve become my favorite dishes. These aren’t just souvenirs, they’re pieces of art that make a home feel warmer."

🗺️ Where to Look — Neighborhoods, Streets & Hidden Ceramic Gems

In Tbilisi, the best ceramics often hide in unexpected corners. Sure, you’ll find something interesting on popular streets like Tabidze, Leselidze, or near Freedom Square. But true treasures often wait in Sololaki’s alleys, Avlabari’s courtyards, or behind quiet doors near Marjanishvili.

Don’t skip the Dezertirebi market — you might stumble upon vintage finds and items with a story. And definitely explore small galleries and studios on Betlemi, Anchiskhati, and in the Chughureti district.

If you’re after ceramics with character, don’t just follow the tourist map — follow your intuition. The best places rarely shout, but they’re the ones you remember.


🔍 How to Choose Quality Ceramics — Tips for Conscious Shoppers

Not all ceramics are created equal. If you want to bring home a truly quality item from Tbilisi, pay attention to a few key details. Handmade pieces often have slight asymmetry and “living” lines — that’s a sign of authenticity.

Check for durability: no cracks, sharp edges, or chips. If the piece gives a soft, deep sound when tapped, it’s likely well-fired. Also ask whether it’s microwave or oven-safe — many makers include that info.

True Georgian ceramics are made to be used daily — and still feel special every time.


🎁 Ceramics in a Suitcase — How to Pack, Transport, and Gift It Right

Georgian ceramics are fragile, but absolutely travel-friendly if packed properly. Wrap each item in paper, cloth, or — ideally — bubble wrap. Leave space between pieces and use soft clothes (socks, scarves, T-shirts) for extra cushioning.

Planning to give it as a gift? Grab a pretty box or wrapping material in advance. Some studios even offer ready-to-gift packaging — just ask.

Let your gift be not only beautiful, but safe and ready to make someone’s day 😊

Clara Stein, Berlin:
"I was amazed at how much meaning and warmth can be held in a single clay cup. I bought a ceramic set — for myself and as a gift — in one of the shops you recommended. They wrapped it with such care, everything arrived perfectly. Now I drink my morning coffee from a Georgian cup and feel like I’m back in Tbilisi. Thank you for this beautiful discovery!"

    Недавно был в Тбилиси и решил присмотреть там керамику. В Лисичьях студиях Сололаки нашёл одну мастерскую, где делают потрясающие изделия. Я сразу заметил живую фактуру и индивидуальные линии — всё как написано. Купил пару чашек и тарелку с национальным узором. Для перевозки использовал пузырчатую плёнку, всё доехало в целости. Мужики, берите в подарок с орнаментом — не промахнётесь.

    Are there any trusted online shops that ship Georgian ceramics internationally? I would love to have some authentic pieces but won't be in Tbilisi anytime soon.

    ბევრჯერ მინახავს, როგორ აცოცხლებს ტრადიციას ტბილისში დამზადებული კერამიკა. განსაკუთრებით მახარებს, რომ პატარა სტუდიებში და სახელოსნოებში შესაძლებელია უნიკალური ნაწარმის აღმოჩენა. ასეთ ადგილებში გაწვდიან ჭურჭელზე, რომელიც ყოველდღიურ ცხოვრებას გაალამაზებს. ხშირად ვურჩევ ვკითხო ოსტატს, შესაძლებელია თუ არა წვის პროცედურა ღუმელში ან მიკროტალღურ ღუმელში, რათა არ დაზიანდეს. ფასებიც საკმაოდ მისაღებია და დიდი ფრთხილი შეფუთვით ნამდვილად ღირს სახლში წაღება.

    Была в Тбилиси и обзавелась потрясающей керамикой из небольшой мастерской в районе Табидзе. Удивило, как отличается ручная работа — каждая чашка немного уникальна. Взяла себе и в подарок сувениры с национальным узором, упаковали в готовые коробки. Пользуюсь чашками каждый день, хотя сначала боялась, что не выдержат. Теперь собираюсь заказать что-то на заказ — приятно, что есть такая возможность.

    I'm a bit skeptical about whether most Georgian ceramics are truly suitable for everyday use. While the article suggests asking the seller for specifics, I wonder if that's enough. What if the glaze or material doesn't hold up over time with regular washing or usage? Would love to hear from others who might have daily experience with these ceramic pieces.

    Можно ли где-то в Тбилиси найти мастерскую, где дадут попробовать самому создать керамическое изделие? Хотелось бы попробовать сделать что-то своими руками для дома.
