Discover our Tamegroute collection HERE
The pottery craft of Tamegroute, in the Zagora region of Morocco, represents a centuries-old tradition that dates back to time immemorial. The potters of Tamegroute, heirs of ancestral know-how, create unique pieces imbued with the soul of this region. Berber pottery from Tamegroute is distinguished by its distinctive green glaze, sometimes tinged with brown ocher. But what really makes Tamegroute pottery unique are its deliberate imperfections. Unlike the smooth perfection of industrial pottery, each piece of Tamegroute bears the marks of artisanal work: irregularities in shape, traces of clay in the texture, drips and drops, gradients of color. These imperfections are not defects, but witnesses to authenticity and true craftsmanship . There have been numerous attempts to reproduce this same green and this same appearance of the Tamegroute gatehouse throughout the world, but without success... All these imperfections thus make the specificity and particularity of this pottery, which is more than 400 years old, that we love and which is prized all over the world.
