The Narrative

The Soul of the Object

This magnificent lidded amphora is a testament to the enduring legacy of Moroccan ceramic art, likely hailing from the historic kilns of Fes. Standing at an impressive scale, the urn is hand-thrown from local earthenware clay, left partially unglazed to reveal a warm, matte terracotta base. Against this natural canvas, master artisans have applied a rich, deep cobalt blue glaze, a color synonymous with Fassi pottery heritage.

"Every imperfection tells a story of human hands at work."
