Terracotta traditional Jar Made of local Clay, Handcrafted by the Potter Aïcha
Located in Marseille, FR
- Handbuilt freckles terracotta jar
- Made of clay collected from the potter's surroundings.
- Made in the Moroccan Rif mountains by the potter Aïcha.
Approximate measurements: 8.7 x 8.7 x 15.7 in // 22 x 22 x 40 cm; weight 6.6 lb // 3 kg
Handmade: Variation is to be expected, each piece differs in color, size, shape and decorations due to its handmade nature and natural pigments. memòri is about simplicity, imperfections, and embracing the "flaws".
Each piece is fired in an open fire - a dug hole during more than 12 hours, which makes unexpected and surprising results, including smoke marks on some pieces. This means that each piece is one of a kind and cannot be duplicated.
Care instructions: The ceramics are not glazed. We advise you to keep it as a decorative object if you want to conserve the original aspect.

The modeled pottery according to the ancestral art...
