Săcel pottery

Săcel is famous for its red, unglazed pottery produced by ancient, Dacian techniques that date to more than 2000 years ago. In the 21st century, an ancient Roman-type oven or kiln is used to cure the clay. Săcel pots are manufactured in Dacian style and they are ornamented using mineral elements.
