Zellige tiles are a traditional Moroccan craft, meticulously created using unrefined natural clay. The clay is hand-kneaded and combined with a small amount of water to form a malleable texture. This mixture is then shaped into tiles and fired in a kiln at high temperatures, ensuring their durability and strength. After the firing process, the tiles are coated with a glossy, glass-like enamel finish, referred to as 'biscuit.' This finish not only enhances their visual appeal with a distinctive, slightly uneven glaze but also adds a layer of protection. Renowned for their rich colors, unique textures, and slight variations in tone, Zellige tiles embody the artistry and heritage of Moroccan craftsmanship.
