Historically, several crafts flourished in Modra alongside viticulture, with pottery standing out as the most prominent. Despite the absence of a railway causing a decline in crafts, wine cultivation and majolica production continued to prosper.
In 1883, a pottery production workshop and a school were established in Modra. The traditions of the Slovak Folk Majolica are still upheld by the older generation of the community. The unique and authentic produce of this art, symbolic of Modra, can be purchased from the local facility, attracting both locals and foreigners (source: Dajama).
