We offer a green ceramic sun candlestick from Tamegroute, Morocco. Tamegroute pottery, known as green pottery, has its origins in several centuries of history in the southern region of Morocco. Influenced by the rich Berber culture and developed under the Saadian dynasty in the 16th century, it has become emblematic of Moroccan craftsmanship. What makes Tamegroute pottery so distinctive is its characteristic green colour, achieved through a special glazing technique containing copper, used during firing. This unique colour, combined with traditional patterns, gives each piece an authentic charm. Passed down from generation to generation within artisan families, the tradition of Tamegroute pottery is imbued with carefully guarded manufacturing secrets. Over the centuries, it has been traded and marketed throughout Morocco and beyond, contributing to its worldwide fame. Today, Tamegroute pottery is not only a symbol of the region's history and culture but also a remarkable example of traditional craftsmanship preserved with care. (Via: Wikipedia).
