Overview
[

About thirty villages located southeast of
Moscow
produce pottery and ship it throughout
Russia
. The name Gzhel became associated with
pottery
in the 14th century. Gzhel pottery was originally created by potters in their homes, however fairly early on these potters started to organize into workshops to increase production. The workshops eventually became a factory with pieces being formed in
moulds
and potters being responsible for separate pieces, a specific style, or decoration. The earliest pieces were created of
earthenware
. The pottery was painted solid white with distinctive blue designs.
Pottery
was also produced using a tin based white
glaze
and coloured glaze designs in blue, green, yellow, and brown, rather than just blue on a white background, in a style that is referred to as
Maiolica
. The body colour of
earthenware
varies depending on the raw materials used, and can range in color from white to brown. It is generally fired at lower temperatures than either stoneware or porcelain, and can remain semi-permeable to water until glazed.

In the 1830s, the Gzhel potters developed a
faience
, or white earthenware, of a quality that rivaled the creamware being produced in England at the time. They followed the development of faience with the acquisition of porcelain.
Porcelain
is fired to a similar temperature as stoneware, but unlike
stoneware
it becomes a translucent white and as such is highly desirable. The making of porcelain had been a secret heavily guarded by China with only finished products being exported. When
Russia
was able to produce their own
porcelain
, it undercut the high cost of imports from China or Western European producers. Although there have been several periods of disruption in
pottery
production at Gzhel, quality pottery is once again being produced in both the recognizable blue on white design as well as the more colorful
Maiolica
ware.
