Abstract
This article describes the changes that occurred in the pottery craft of the ancient Central Sugdian world. In general, with the introduction of the Hellenistic culture into the Sogd region, the shape of pottery changes radically. Bowls, plates, and glasses of various sizes are produced, and most of the vessels are given red angob on the inside and outside, and the surface is scratched and polished on special pottery tools. Such dishes can be found not only in Central Asia, but also in the countries of the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Iran, India, and the Middle East. In this period, the impact of the changes in the political, social, economic, and spiritual life of Central Sogd on the pottery craft, as well as the main reasons and characteristics of the development of the pottery craft, and the impact of historical processes on these changes are discussed.
