Fericanci is a village to the west of Nasice. It was once the region's (Slavonia's) biggest pottery centre, with imperial privileges. Today, unfortunately, the craft has completely disappeared from the village.

The collection has been exhibited in the form of a potter's workshop, with all the tools and equipment necessary for making pottery products.

The shelves display pottery products of all kinds - from those intended for households, to beehives, brandy stills, flower pots, children's toys, and so on.

The accompanying photographs show different phases of pottery production.

The set table constitutes a unit apart, including plates, jars, lamps, bowls, and a sugar-box.

A potter's wheel that used to belong to the last local master occupies a special position within the collection, along with all the accompanying tools.

Of particular value are the blue enamel products, since this particular kind of enamel was used only by the local (Fericanci) masters.
