Summary/Abstract: The existence of a ceramic center to Ocna Sibiu, near Sibiu, was ignored by researchers. Only Julius Bielz and Cornel Irimie drew atention on the wealth of forms and motifs in their article: „Unknown information about a pottery center from Ocna Sibiu”, publishd in Studies and Research of Art History from year 1954. The hereby paper presents a few valuable pieces from the ceramic collection of „Emil Sigerus” Saxon Ethnography Museum from Sibiu, of the Reformed Church from Ocna Sibiu and private collections, followed by details regarding their decoration and production technique. The discovery of a series of ceramic products to Ocna Sibiu, as well as of some unpublished documents regarding the pottery guild from this region, is of great importance. The knowledge of this ceramic center can be considered a contribution to the history of the poterry craft and art from the center of Tranylvania. The study of this ceramic center, along side to other less famous centers from Transylvania, can represent a remarcable contribution to the study of folk ceramics from our country.
