Khiva's ceramics bear the distinct islimi design with majolica colours. They are only produced in the wider Khiva region but are often sold at inflated prices in Samarkand and Bukhara.
These ceramics can be brought from numerous souvenir shops in the old city and also from museums stalls. However, it is also possible to take a taxi to Yangi Arik where the plates and bowls are made by 'ustas' (masters) who have passed down their skill from generation to generation. They can also give you a guided tour of their workshop and how the ceramics are made.

Firstly clay is dug up from the plot next to the workshop and made into pots, vases etc. Once dried, the slip is applied. This is made from recycled glass and before firing appears as terracotta and brown. Once fired the slip turns to the familiar blues and turquoise of the majolica tradition.

Ask a taxi driver to take you to Yangi Arik and then ask around for the 'ustakhona' (workshop). Prices at the workshop are significantly cheaper than the same bowls and plates sold in the Ichan Kala.
Other ceramics are also available in the bazaar and Tim, which are not usually hand made, but are significantly cheaper.
