Title:
Pottery from Post-medieval Period in Carpathian Basin. Evolution or Revolution?
Content:
This session seeks to explore the changes in the ceramic production between the 16th and 19th century in Carpathian Basin and neighbouring regions. The 16th century is an era of great cultural, social and economic changes within this area The Central Europe was impacted by new ideas originated from Western Europe influenced by expanding Reformation, Renaissance and European overseas discoveries altogether with the rise of Habsburg dynasty and 150 yearlong Ottoman Empire expansion. This unique blend of historical events transformed the whole society of the Central Europe, and also naturally changed its material culture.
Therefore, the main theme of this session is: Are the changes in ceramic production (vessels, stove tiles, smoke pipes, and building ceramics) of post-medieval period in Carpathian Basin based on local medieval ceramic traditions, or are they results of foreign influences? Or in case of mutual impact of those ideas, which was the one that became dominant or even prevailed?
