Known forArmenianceramicsartisanheritage
The Armenian Quarter hosts a cluster of family-run ceramic studios and shops producing the distinctive hand-painted blue-and-white tiles and pottery that have been made in Jerusalem for over a century. The Karakashian and Balian family workshops are the most renowned, selling genuine heirloom-quality pieces. This is not a market in the traditional sense but functions as a concentrated artisan district. Caveat: prices are high for authentic pieces — beware cheap imitations sold elsewhere in the Old City.
