Korond
Hungarians in Transylvania share the same, or very similar culture and language as their brothers and sisters in the mother country, Hungary. They are famous about their hospitality, spicy meals, beautiful art works, and love for Hungarian traditions, folk dance and music.
All the decorative wall plates have provision for wall hanging. It is customary in Europe using ceramic, porcelain, wood and sometimes metal plates to decorate the walls in the kitchen, dining room and also in other areas of the home.
In Székelyland, Korond is perhaps the largest, best-known potters' village. Here they made every kind of vessel, principally cooking pots, ornamental pitchers, plates, and stove tiles.

Since 1978 the pottery fair in Corund (Arcio - Árcsó) is organized annually on the first Saturday-Sunday of August. The location is between the bridge of Corund stream and the guesthouse. The traditional fair is the presentation of the ceramists and popular artists of Corund. The offer: pots, pans, cooking and boiling vessels, jugs, plates, tiles, vases, ceramics of applied arts and plastic art.
The name of Corund in inseparable from ceramics: the village is one of the most important ceramic centers in Europe. There is a saying in Corund: " since the world exists they always produced pottery ." This is a Middle Age tradition that became industry. The first written source dates back to the year 1613, when the pottery guild from Udvarhely accused the people of Corund with bungling.
The Korond pottery is exported in many countries.
