The stunning pieces of ceramics from Fez - known as Fassi ceramics - in their traditional blue and white designs are a delight and well-sought after as decorative souvenirs. They can also be used as in the home as bowls and serving dishes.

Other colour schemes are also used, including yellow, royal blue and burgundy and bring variety to the classic designs.

Moroccan Ceramics from Granada

Although one thinks of Moroccan ceramic as being from Morocco, the style of ceramic can also be found from workshops in Grenada, Spain.

Spain was for about one hundred years part of the Islamic empire, and the Moorish influence has survived in the making of traditional ceramics in the Moroccan style.

Many of these ceramics follow the beautiful Moroccan traditional design of Fez and Marrakesh.
