Tunisian Handmade Ceramic Sugar Pot
$12.00
Handmade ceramic sugar bowl and coffee pot set from Tunisia. Reflecting centuries-old traditions that have been passed down through generations. This is done using mineral-based glazes and paints, with colours often inspired by the Mediterranean landscape—vibrant blues and greens.
The creation of Tunisian ceramics begins with the careful selection and preparation of clay, which is often sourced locally. Artisans then shape this clay by hand or on a potter's wheel, crafting various forms ranging from plates and bowls to decorative tiles and intricate vases. Once the desired shape is achieved, the item is left to dry, a process that can take several days depending on the size and thickness of the piece. Following drying, the ceramics are fired in a kiln for the first time to harden.
Artisans use fine brushes to apply intricate designs by hand, a skilful process that demands both artistic vision and a steady hand. After painting, the ceramics undergo a second firing to fix the glazes and ensure the durability of the colours.
This meticulous process results in stunning pieces that are sought after for both their beauty and functionality. Tunisian ceramics are not only popular locally but have also gained international recognition, adorning homes and establishments worldwide. They serve as a beautiful reminder of Tunisia's artistic heritage and the talent of its artisans, making them cherished gifts and collectibles.
