From the ninth century, pottery was one of  the most widespread of the crafts. Potters occupied large quarters of the  towns in the region, producing both everyday ware and unique pieces, and Afrasiab, Chach, Ferghana, Merv, Nasa, Khwarazm and Nishapur were among the leading centres of ceramic production in the ninth to the twelfth century.  This tradition is still going on among the Tajiks in Central Asia.More
