Tamegroute jug

A rustic Tamegroute jug in a mixture of deep greens, sea greens and turquoise.  These colours are characteristic of the traditional glaze created by a cooperative of potters in Tamegroute, in southern Morocco.

Each piece of Tamegroute pottery is unique.  The pottery is handmade using techniques handed down from family to family over generations.  It’s known for its distinctive, green glaze, created with clay from the river Draa, manganese, silicon, cobalt, copper and barley, and a secret ingredient.  It’s the combination of the glaze and the firing process which creates the myriad of different colours in each piece. No two pieces are alike and pieces are perfectly imperfect, so expect changes in the glaze, surface texture and shape.

This decorative Tamegroute jug is perfect for water or as a vase for garden flowers.  It would make a great gift too.

Size: height 18cm, diameter 13cm at the rim
