Moroccan Pottery and Ceramics: Art You Can Use Every Day

From timeless tableware to statement pieces—discover the beauty of Moroccan craftsmanship in Tangier
Moroccan pottery and ceramics are more than just beautiful—they’re deeply rooted in culture, community, and craft. Whether you’re drawn to the bold blues of Fes-style tiles, the soft earth tones of Tamegroute, or hand-painted bowls filled with colour and symbolism, Moroccan ceramics tell a story in every curve. In Tangier, you’ll find a world of these treasures—if you know where to look. And we’re here to help you find the real thing.

A Craft Passed Down Through Generations

Moroccan ceramics are made by hand, often in small family-owned workshops where each item is shaped, fired, glazed, and painted using traditional techniques. Some patterns are passed down for generations, while others reflect a more modern blend of styles. What you’ll commonly find:

  • Hand-painted bowls, plates, and platters with geometric or floral designs
  • Tagines—both decorative and functional
  • Tea cups and glasses in classic or colorful styles
  • Tiled pieces for walls, floors, and tabletops
  • Decorative vases, candleholders, and trays
  • Rustic Tamegroute pottery in signature green, yellow, or brown glazes

Each region of Morocco has its own signature touch—but in Tangier, you’ll find a mix of them all.
