Summary/Abstract: The Photo Archives of the Ethnographic Museum of Cluj contains 46,437 black and white photos that were taken between 1923 and 1997. They show a very complete landscape of the rich Transylvanian heritage.If they don’t occupy the most important place, the photos of the ceramics are not absent from this set. They can be divided in two groups. The first concerns the different stages of the work of the potters, the second discusses the role of ceramics in the context of everyday life.The purpose of this article is to draw up a catalogue that can help anyone interested in this craft.Due to the large number of documents we have divided this study in two parts: the first will deal with the manufacture of potteries, the second, in a future article,will discuss their place in everyday life.
