We love these rustic Tamegroutecandle holders hand made in Morocco using traditional techniques. Tamegroute pottery is made on the edge of the Sahara, by only seven atelier families. The clay is dug up from under palm trees and fired in brick ovens fuelled by palm wood. These pieces are chunky, very rough and often wonky. The rustic firing technique often leads to streaky carbonised patches. The resulting pieces look ancient and are utterly unique, beautiful and look like they wouldn’t be out of place in a museum - this observation was made by a Christie’s of London ceramic specialist!
