- Note
- "Rishton is one of the most famous and oldest centers of ceramics in Uzbekistan. Legend claims that the art is over 800 years old, passed down from generation to generation. A fine quality reddish-yellow clay deposit 1-1.5 meters deep and 0.5-1.5 meters thick underlies almost the whole Rishton area. The clay can be used without refinement or addition of other types of clay from other regions. Besides clay, the potters of Rishton extracted various dyes, quartz sand, and fire clay from the surrounding the mountains.
One of the most popular Islamic Scholar Burhan al-Din al-Marghinani author of Hidaye was born in this small town and grew up in Margilan, a neighbor city in Fergana." - (en.wikipedia.org 07.03.2020) - Latitude
