About the Item

Antique large Moroccan handcrafted glazed polychrome ceramic bowl. Moroccan, Fez or Meknes bowl Jobbana with geometric Moorish designs. Hand painted ceramic Jubbana bowl, handcrafted by skilled Moroccan artisans in Fez Morocco. Moorish designs in turquoise, blue, saffron yellow, prune and ivory color with brass decorated accent. Size: 7.5" H x 10"5 D. Handmade in Fez or Meknes Morocco circa 1900-1920s. About Moroccan Jobana This beautifully decorated earthenware pot is a striking example of a 19th-century Moroccan jobbana. Traditionally accompanied by a domed or bell-shaped lid with a finial top, these vessels originally were used to store butter and cheese or to churn milk. The name, jobbana, derives from the Arabic word for cheese—jubna. The exterior of the bowl is decorated with ornamental motifs in bright blue applied over a yellow underglaze. The organic diamond shapes separated by bands of intricate filigree and geometric patterns mirrored top and bottom are characteristic of ceramic ware from Fez and Meknes, as is the reddish color of the clay visible beneath the yellow glaze and in the few areas of small losses. The blue oxide used on vessels of this type allow us to date our jobbana to the middle of the 19th century. An example executed on a similar scale and retaining its original lid is in the Brooklyn Museum (Fig. 1).
