Gijduvan pottery registered as a geographical indication

“Gijduvan pottery,” unique to the Gijduvan district of the Bukhara region, has been officially registered as a geographical indication. The Gijduvan school of pottery is distinguished by its unique traditions formed over centuries, production technology based on natural raw materials, and distinctive patterns and decorative styles. This is reported by Uzdaily.uz reports .

In this style of pottery, about 60 types of products and more than 300 stable pattern compositions have been passed down from generation to generation. Natural raw materials such as pure local soil, colored clays, natural dyes, and alkaline glazes are used in the preparation of the pottery.

The harmony of light green, brown, and blue colors, as well as traditional patterns such as “Mehrobi,” “Parragul,” “Madohil,” “Londagul,” “Guli bodom,” and “Lolagul,” demonstrate the uniqueness of this school. Furthermore, the Narzullayev dynasty, with a three-century history, continues to uphold these Gijduvan pottery traditions to this day.

Registration as a geographical indication provides legal protection for the product's name, its historical traditions, and its production technology. This process further expands opportunities to promote the national handicraft brand on an international scale.
