Ceramics, one of humanity's earliest industrial endeavors, possesses intrinsic artistic qualities, even during its nascent stages. The lands that now make up Bulgaria bear witness to the diverse tapestry of tribes and peoples that have called this region home. Over the centuries, this land has collected a rich assortment of ceramics, each telling a unique story—crafted by Thracians, Romans, Slavs, and Proto-Bulgarians. The proximity to the Mediterranean, with its wealth of culture, has significantly influenced the evolution of Bulgarian craftsmanship.
At DankoHandmade, we cherish tradition by reimagining it through a contemporary lens. Each of our product lines showcases its own distinctive style and character, yet they all bear the unmistakable comfort and warmth of the Bulgarian soil.

Firing - Where Clay Meets Fire:
The transformation of humble clay into durable ceramics hinges on the firing process. Ceramics, known for their strength and sturdiness, resemble stone in many ways. For thousands of years, pottery pieces have stood the test of time, all thanks to the fusion of clay and fire.
Firing involves subjecting the clay and glazes to high temperatures. The ultimate goal is to heat the object until the clay and glazes reach their optimal level of melting, a process that occurs on a molecular level. Bisque firing is the initial high-temperature stage, ensuring that the clay vitrifies sufficiently to withstand subsequent glaze application, yet without being so vitrified that the glaze won't adhere properly.
Once glazes are carefully applied and allowed to dry, the ware is loaded into the kiln for the glaze firing. Precise loading is crucial, as pots must not touch to prevent the glazes from fusing and welding the pots together. The kiln is then gradually heated to the precise temperature, bringing the clay and glazes to full maturity, before it is slowly cooled again. Only after the kiln has cooled is it opened and the precious cargo is carefully unloaded.

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering.

• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
