Add some serious style and design to your home with one of our stunning Tamegroute candle holders.  Each pieces is a unique work of art. The entire process of creating this Tamegroute pottery is based on the pure craftsmanship of each potter and the colour and shape is never exactly the same.  Interestingly, these pieces have become more popular as sculpture, rather than candle holders.

Perfectly imperfect, Tamegroute pottery is seriously beautiful with all its lumps, bumps and imperfections, stunning wood-fired glaze and fabulous iterations as bowls, vases candlesticks and plates.  Expect lumps and bumps, expect slightly unglazed imprints where each piece rested on the rack whilst being fired. If you want a perfect glaze and consistent sizing and shape, stop right here.  Tamegroute pottery will give you hives.

Please note:  due to the handmade nature, this pottery includes some small indelible holes, cracks and chips which are an effect of the crafting and glazing process and considered part of the artisan individuality of each pottery piece. All dimensions are approximate as each piece is hand spun, no moulds are used and each piece is different to the next. ---

Tamegroute village, in the Sahara Desert on the border of Morocco and Algeria, is the home to seven Atelier families, each owning a wood-fired oven and their own workshop. The craftsmanship and skill is authentic to the region with its beautiful distinctive rich green or mustard yellow glaze. All raw materials are natural, with clay collected from nearby palm groves. This process begins at the River Draa where potters dig up the clay and then spin and shape the clay into unique pieces.  The harsh sun of the Sahara also plays a role in curing the pottery.
