Tamegroute plate yellow Ø 18 cm

Moroccan yellow glazed earthenware plate. Beautiful handmade plate crafted using age-old techniques. The traditional glazing technique involves silicon, manganese, and copper, which, once fired in earth ovens, results in the striking green hue. Sometimes copper is replaced by iron oxide to achieve a more brown/olive-colored result.

Each piece varies; no two are exactly alike. Bubbles, scratches, color variations in the green, and even small marks in the glaze are to be expected and should be embraced as part of the unique and handmade character of each piece.

dimensions: Ø 18 cm

The characteristic yellow color of Tamegroute pottery is due to a combination of manganese, silicon, and copper. Although the amount of copper is minimal, it is precisely this ingredient that provides the beautiful yellow color. Tamegroute is a small village in southern Morocco. The production of Tamegroute products is known only to 7 families from the village of the same name, Tamegroute. These 7 families each have their own oven and workshop where they offer their Tamegroute products. Since many products are made and the ovens are not large enough, the products are stacked on top of each other using three-point spacers. This creates the characteristic scar found on almost every Tamegroute product.
