Tamegroute pottery bowl gold

Beautiful pieces of original Tamegroute pottery, in a distinctive gold colour.

Tamegroute pottery has an intriguing origin and unique characteristic that sets them apart from other pottery. Tamegroute is a village located in the Draa Valley in southern Morocco, known for its rich tradition of pottery making.

The Tamegroute produced are handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. They are typically made from locally sourced clay and decorated with a distinctive  glaze either green or ombre, which is achieved by using a combination of minerals found in the region.

What makes Tamegroute particularly interesting is that they often bear visible imperfections or scars from the kiln firing process. During the firing, the plates may develop cracks, marks, or variations in the glaze due to the unpredictable nature of the kiln. These imperfections are not seen as flaws but rather as part of the dish unique character and beauty. 

This pottery is largely decorative, but can be used for fruit or cold food. Hand wash only. Not oven safe.
