The color and texture is a result of the particular alchemy created by the potters of Tamegroute and remains a family affair handed down through the generations.

Please note that the traditional method in which the plates are fired involves stacking which result in tiny ‘scars’ inside the plate and in the glaze making, each bowl is unique the beauty is found in the imperfection of each piece.
