Is native good adjective for dishes like crockeries?

[skystar30097]

Do we say in English native crockeries.
I mean those dishes made in the country I live.

No. We might say "British made crockery", note that "crockery" is uncountable.

:up: I have a feeling that the OP may have used - and over-interpreted - a thesaurus; s/he may have been talking about native cookery ('dishes').

PS Hmm... maybe not.

Do you mean food or the plates, etc, it is served on?

 

[emsr2d2]

I definitely think there is a misunderstanding here with the two meanings of "dishes".

 

[skystar30097]

I mean plates. e.g plates designed by Iranian (as I'm doing research on Iranian culture)not the chinese one.
I need to a good adjective to express this feeling.

Sorry for confusing you.

 

[Rover_KE]

I can only think of locally-made.

 

[Tdol]

I would use Iranian.

 

[LingvaLupo]

How about "indigenous"?

 

[Rover_KE]

I thought of indigenous earlier, but it would be a bit of a stretch.

None of these dictionaries support the use of the adjective for artefacts — just people, plants and animals.

Some people may be wondering why 'indigenous' strikes Rover as a bit of a stretch. I think it is too - possibly because '-genous' refers to organic growth (often, but not always, involving genes). On the other hand, the way styles and designs and methods and constituents and tools may be thought of as spreading 'organically' (the prehistoric term 'Beaker People' comes - perhaps irrelevantly - to mind), perhaps there's something to be said for 'indigenous' after all.
