Rishtan, Fergana Region, Uzbekistan


🇺🇿 Rishton (Rishton, Рештон, Риштан, Rishtan, Rishdan, Roshidon, Kyubishev) is a city in Fergana Region, in Uzbekistan. It is the administrative centre of Rishton District. It is located about halfway between Kokand and Fergana at an elevation of 471 meters.

Rishton is the most famous, and one of the oldest centres of ceramics in Uzbekistan. 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. The special "ishkor" blue glaze is manufactured by natural mineral pigments and mountain ash plants.

Hanafi scholar Burhan al-Din al-Marghinani, the author of the book al-Hidayah, was born in this small town and grew up in neighbouring Margilan.

Main languages spoken in this area are Tajik and Uzbek.
