Sgraffito-style "royal" pottery at the marketplace in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. Sgraffito was a popular technique for the manufacturing of ceramics in the Second Bulgarian Tsardom (12th-14th c.), however abandoned during the Ottoman yoke. It was revived by 20th century artisans after archeological research unearthed remnants of medieval pottery inside Tsarevets fortress, which helped rediscover the authenic colors and patterns used once.
"Царска" сграфито керамика от Самоводската чаршия, Велико Търново. Техниката сграфито е популярна по времето на Второто българско царство (XII-XIVв.), но е забравена след падането под османско иго. Преоткрита е от майстори-грънчари през XX век, когато при разкопки на крепостта Царевец са намерени останки от средновековни чаши и чинии. По тях съвременните майстори се ориентират за орнаментите и багрите, използвани някога.

Tsarevets (Bulgarian: Царевец, romanized: Tsarevets) is a medieval stronghold located on a hill with the same name in Veliko Tarnovo in northern Bulgaria. Tsarevets is 206 metres (676 ft) above sea level. It served as the Second Bulgarian Empire's primary fortress and strongest bulwark between 1185 and 1393, housing the royal and the patriarchal palaces, and it is also a popular tourist attraction.
