Uzbekistan... The Silk Road... These words are an invitation to travel... 

We brought back some plates and bowls from our trip on the tracks of Timur, made from Rishtan ceramics. These dishes are hand-painted, using pigments from an endemic flower from the desert close to this village in Southern Uzbekistan. The colors of this plant bring this unique blue and green patterns, which make Rishtan ceramics so appreciated and spotted at first sight. 

We also like traditional Russian vodka glasses and Ukrainian terracotta bowls, which we found on our way to Uzbekistan !
