The potters of Csákvár have been producing their characteristic pots and bowls from the locally mined earthenware and marled clay since the 18th century. In the golden age of the craft, here was the biggest pottery centre of Transdanubia, and all the workshops around the Vértes Mountains belonged to the main guild of Csákvár. The potters craft was once divided into different branches, which were strictly distinguished from each other. Literally, potters only worked with fire-resistant clay mined in the forest, and made pots for cooking and baking. In another branch of workshop, only marled clay was used for producing platters, plates, jugs and mugs, which were not fire-resistant. Furthermore, the clay rich in iron-oxide was preferred by a third group of potters, who made unglazed pitchers, pots for storage and carrying water, chicken troughs and flowerpots. Besides, a few stove makers would also work in Csákvár. The relics and artefacts of pottery are now exhibited in the Vértes Local History Museum and in the
Potters Memorial House.
