Sixty years ago, each household from Jupâneşti a village administered by Făget - had one or two potters. The village of Jupâneşti, located in Vădanei Valley, was a famous pottery centre, given the local supply of quartz sand and adequate clay. Nowadays, the village, regarded as the last active pottery center in Timiş county, is harbouring only two elders, experts in the art of pottery: Trandafir Velcu and Gheorghe Mestecănean. The tradition may get the chance to be continued thanks to the potter Marin Barbos, who manages the pottery center for children from Jupâneşti, Tomeşti and Coşeviţa. An annual fair is held in Jupâneşti, on a special plateau outside the village, surrounded by a spectacular scenery. The fair is a tourist attraction and is accompanied by performances of the Folklore Group “Făgeţeana” from Făget and the famous “Dubaşi” from Brăneşti. The Museum of Banat Village from Timişoara owns a potter’s house from Jupâneşti dating back to the XIXth century, a house made of short beams pasted with clay. The house has three rooms: living room, kitchen and potter’s workshop, furnished according to the ethnographic style of Făget area. In the yard there is a stable and barn, a pigpen and the pottery kiln. The pottery kiln has been reconstructed inside the museum and is still operational. The household from Jupâneşti displayed in the Museum of Banat Village was an original building purchased by the Museum in 1973 from a resident Ştefan Popovici from Jupâneşti, no. 12, and was transferred to the Museum of Banat village in 1975.
