Zohra Pottery E

Journey to the western edge of the Sahara desert and youll find the village of Tamegroute an historic oasis where Moroccos iconic Tamegroute pottery has been produced for centuries. There, following these age-old, closely-guarded techniques, our gorgeous Zohra Pottery is handcrafted by skilled local artisans in a small, family-owned workshop. The process starts with clay dug from the nearby Draa riverbed, which is molded into unique, abstract shapes and coated in a glaze made from a secret concoction that includes magnesium and copper oxide. Once glazed, each piece is fired in a blazing hot wood-burning oven (were talking over a thousand degrees!) for more than twenty-four hours. Something about the alchemy of that specific local clay, dipped in that particular glaze and slowly fired at that extreme temperature results in our Zohra Potterys distinctive shade (or, more accurately, shades) of green. With their vibrant hues, earthy texture and sculptural, perfectly imperfect silhouettes, theyre great for bringing a pop of color and global style to any room of the house, whether you go with just one or opt for a grouping of all six designs. True handmade objects, no two are exactly alike and variations in shape, size and glaze color should be expected. stoneware reactive green glaze handmade in morocco following traditional techniques each is unique; variations in shape, size, glaze color and handmade characteristics should be expected approximately 8.5"W x 5.75"D x 18.5"H Each of our Zohra Pottery Collection is completely unique and variations should be expected.
