Tiszafüredi Népi Fazekasság — Alföldi Agyagedény
The Tiszafüred folk pottery tradition — the Great Plain earthenware tradition of the Tiszafüred region whose characteristic tulip and flower-painted cream-on-terracotta earthenware represents the most distinctive Great Plain ceramic vocabulary. The Tiszafüred fazekas reads the correct slip-painting consistency through a brush-drag-and-bead assessment — dragging the slip brush across a test tile and reading the specific clean bead that indicates the correct cream slip viscosity for the Tiszafüred folk painting vocabulary.
