The paper analyzes the forms and morphological details of the ceramics of Nikolaevskaya (Smolninskaya) culture of Primorye of the 10th –12th centuries on the basis of published and unpublished sources. The author examines the history of scientific studies of the culture and provides a brief description of the sites. Material obtained at different time periods in the valleys of the Partizanskaya, Sergeevka, Arsenyevka and Ussuri rivers is analyzed. As a result of the study, the typical forms of ceramics of the culture in question were identified. These are pots, earthenware pots, steamer pots, which are the most common form, dishes and bowls, jars, vases and lids, which were identified and systematized on the basis of archaeologically intact and partially preserved vessels. The selected vessels have counterparts in the ceramics of the medieval cultures of Primorye: Bohai (698–926), Pokrovskaya (9th–13th centuries AD), culture of Jin (1115–1234) and Eastern Xia (1213–1246) as well as in the cultures of the Korean Peninsula: in the state of Baekje during the periods of Hanseong (18 BC–475 AD) and Sabi (538–660). The morphological features of the ceramics of Nikolaevskaya (Smolninskaya) culture are determined, which, in addition to preserving the traces of pitting as a technical ornament, are cultural features characteristic of this ceramic tradition. Fragments of the bottom, which are rounded at the junction of the bottom and body, and the shape of vessel handles can also act as cultural markers.
