Description
The Story of a family tradition since 1922
Two brothers, Stepan and Berge Karakashian, and son Hagop, produce their Armenian Pottery tiles and wares at 15 Via Dolorosa in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Their father, Megherdich Karakashian, and several other Armenian potters were brought to Jerusalem from Kutahia, Turkey, in 1919. They were appointed to repair the tiles covering the external walls of the Dome of the Rock.
These craftsmen were very glad to leave Turkey and escape the persecutions of the Armenians in different regions of that country. They settled in Jerusalem, practicing their traditional craft of making glazed pottery, richly colored and decorated with floral and animal designs.
