Vlekik (V'LEH-kick)

Vlekik is a utilitarian pottery similar to terracota created from powdered scrap stone -- usually tunnite or, less commonly, sapstone (for decorative items) -- and powdered haaduc for coloring. 'Vlekik' usually refers to haaduc-colored pottery (i.e., sienna or red), but niche varieties exist that have been colored with other minerals, such as cypusar shell -- in these cases they are referred to by color, e.g., 'blue vlekik'.
Its most notable use is as roof tiles in Ustrarian cities like Korzhûn.
