Pottery craft of Korond, a small village of my country.

24. Corund is one of the largest settlements of Hargita. It is situated in the
valley of a stream which has the same name as the village. The first
document of Corund is from 1333. As the agriculture was never enough
to support the population different trades formed, among them potter’s
craft is the oldest one, but you can find tinder-making and charcoal-
burning crafts as well. Permanent fair is held in the main square, where
customers can find not only the local craftsmen’s products, but they can
buy goods from masters of the neighbourhood. In the beginning
craftsmen made pots without glaze, and these pots were well-tried
cooking utensils. The pottery craft of Corund was in danger many times.
When the glazed pots came into fashion the young people were sent to
Székelyudvarhely, to learn the new methods. The potter’s craft can
support the inhabitants well, so people don’t move to other settlements
from here.
