What Bright Gallery is known for
Run by ceramicist Djurayev Gayrat, who has practiced pottery for about 15 years; sells Uzbek ceramics in the Rishtan tradition, including ishkor-glazed vases and botanical-motif plates, from a shop inside Tashkent City park.
Bright Gallery in Tashkent is run by the ceramicist Djurayev Gayrat, who has worked in pottery for around 15 years. Its stock centers on Uzbek applied art, particularly ceramics made in the Rishtan tradition, a centuries-old pottery style from the Fergana Valley town of Rishtan known for its blue-and-white glazed ware. Pieces include decorative plates with botanical motifs and vases with traditional patterns, finished with ishkor glaze, a glassy glaze traditionally made from the ash of local desert plants rather than commercial lead-based alternatives. The gallery frames its mission as preserving and developing Uzbekistan's craft heritage, and its makers' work is also shown in tourist centers across several regions of the country. The shop sits inside Tashkent City park, across from Tashkent City Mall, rather than inside the mall itself.
