There is a long tradition of pottery production in Transylvania, which is still alive today in a few places.
In addition to pottery for everyday use, there was also pottery that was only used on special occasions. These special vessels are linked to customs and rituals within the community, such as guilds, neighborhood and brotherhoods, which are conveyed in the exhibition using exemplary objects from the museum's own collection.
Jugs and pitchers, for example, are often inscribed with toasts such as the exhibition title or reveal the names of their donors, thus providing an insight into an important area of Transylvania's social history from the 18th to the 20th century.
