Cappadocia - Pottery


We visited a pottery workshop next on our tour.








The pottery is hand painted and the patterns are so tiny!





We saw a demonstration on the pottery wheel.  Brought back memories of ceramics class in high school and how much my "vases" sucked.



I wanted this set so badly.  The round vessel in the back of the picture can be slung over your shoulder and then wine is poured out.  It was an Ottoman design.  Unfortunately the set was over $500.



Some of the colorful bowls and designs.  Between worries about taking pieces on the plane (although they would ship the expensive items for free) and the cost, we didn't end up buying anything.
