Its story
Kınık village in Pazaryeri has worked in pottery for centuries thanks to the clay beds around it. In the village, masters shape clay on traditional wheels and fire it in wood-fired kilns to produce vessels such as casseroles (güveç), jugs and flowerpots. A geographical indication registration process is under way for Kınık pottery. It is possible to visit the workshops, watch production and buy handmade pieces. Excavations at Kınık Höyük in the area show that settlement here goes back to very ancient times.
