Pottery has always been one of the
most significant crafts of the Moroccan Kingdom. It has enriched the Arab and
the Islamic civilization throughout history. The pottery of the famous Amazeeg
tribes is famous all over Northern Africa and it grabs the attention of many
tourists who travel to Morocco.
The pottery in Morocco can generally
be divided in two categories. The first is the pottery of the villages that is
featured with the art and the shapes of the tribes of Morocco. The other type
is the pottery of the cities that is characterized by the geometrical shapes of
the Islamic art. There are also some sections of the country where the
traditional outlines of the tribal art are blended with the Andalusian styles
resulting in magnificent pieces of art. Several tourists who spend their
vacations in Morocco purchase pottery as gifts and souvenirs to take back home
after a wonderful holiday.
