On the eve of the Second World War, the city of Pristina had over three hundred craft shops. The shops were mainly built out tiles, earth brick and wood, whose entries were decorated with oriental style enclosures. Cauldron-makers reworked the copper and lead, out of which they made different household dishes for selling. There were two kinds of cauldron-makers in Pristina: the townsmen and craftsmen from Prizren who came to Pristina to practice their craft. Their workshops were located on the outskirts of the city since their line of work was considered unhygienic. Their shops had chimneys and spots to place their tools and to sell their products. Apparently, becoming a cauldron-maker was very difficult; it took six years approximately. The first dish that the apprentice learned to make was the baking pan, then the cauldron, a cup, barber’s tools, bathroom accessories, sugar boxes, coffeepot and liturgical accessories. Many of the crafts of that time have ceased to exist or they have modernized their practice and are not considered crafts but art.
