Moroccan Berber Tamgroute Terracotta Green Glazed Bowl
Located in Moreno Valley, CA
Large heavy Moroccan Tamgroute Tribal green terracotta glazed bowl.
Very large avocado green glazed earthenware bowl from Morocco.
Antique Moroccan Berber Tamgroute green glazed decorative terra cotta large decorative bowl.
Wonderful green and brown shimmering that can be found only in south Morocco in the village of Tamgroute.
The dark green 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.
Each pottery piece is completely unique and no two are ever the same.
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.
Tamegroute pottery are true showpieces showing that even imperfect can be perfect.
Tamegroute remains the only rural pottery in Morocco using oxidized copper which creates its famous green color.
Its potteries are also the only location where you will find their unique forms.
The process however remains much the same. Clay is dug up from the local Draa river banks, thrown by hand & fired in kilns built into steep slopes using a single firing.
