Summary

Research on Khorezm's cultural schools reveals distinct yet interconnected ceramic traditions, with a focus on the decorative patterns and technological techniques of ancient pottery centers like 'Old Urgench', 'Kattabog', and 'Madir'. The study highlights the work of renowned potters such as Eshmurad Sapoev, Raiymberdi Matchonov, and Sultan Otajonov, analyzing their contributions and those of their students. It explores the similarities and differences in decorative patterns, the technology behind glazed and embroidered tiles, and the production of blue-patterned dishes and cast iron (sage) flowers. The research also examines how contemporary potters continue these ancient traditions, participating in competitions and exhibitions while integrating traditional ceramic techniques into modern architectural decoration.
