The article offers a historical-typological analysis of the artistic decorative system and technological features of the medieval glazed ceramics produced on the territory of Uzbekistan. It examines the main categories of decorative motifs found on Transoxianan pottery of the ninth to thirteenth centuries (geometric, epigraphic, vegetal, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic), the evolution of glazing technology and the typology of vessel forms, the artistic and technological transformations that occurred during the Temurid period, and the distinctive artistic and technical features of the local pottery schools (Bukhara-Samarkand, Fergana and Khorezm) that took shape in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries.
