ARTISTIC ORNAMENTATION IN NATIONAL POTTERY AND ITS INTERPRETATION IN CONTEMPORARY DESIGN ART

Abstract

This study explores the artistic ornamentation of traditional national pottery and examines how these decorative elements are reinterpreted within the context of contemporary design art. The research highlights the historical roots of ornamental motifs used in pottery such as geometric patterns, floral compositions, and symbolic designs that reflect the spiritual and aesthetic worldview of the nation. Through comparative analysis, the paper reveals how these traditional decorative principles are adapted to modern materials, color schemes, and forms in current design practices. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural heritage while fostering innovation, proposing that the integration of traditional ornaments into modern art and design contributes to the development of a unique national identity in the global creative space.
