EVERYDAY DISHES. Known as Kefar Hananya pottery, it is associated with Jewish settlements in the Galilee and is common in the area surrounding Nazareth. It is characterized by its warm orange-brown color and smooth thin walls. It gives a clink when bumped due to the hard firing process used to create it. The clay is dense and homogenous with rare inclusions of black or white.
