Historic background of ceramics and pottery in Tunisia In the
family of ceramics and pottery the
RAKEN Style collection includes several types of vases and other
potteries : Our vases are designed and hand crafted by an artistic outfit who searches the Tunisian cultures of the past in an archaeological way and applies this knowledge to its creations, with as results unique items with strong links to Mediterranean, Arab and African cultures. Long vases have won the second prize at the 17th Exhibition of Artisan Creation held in Tunis in November 1999. RAKEN features vases in various shapes: long vases, high vases, round vases and flat vases. The silver thread incrusted crushed stone painted potteries are made from a crude clay on which the artisan applies his subtle techniques, transforming the object into a noble work, which does not betray its humble origins. You will find traditional Arab motives, such as the Khlala, the Khomsa (hand of Fatima) or the Zawia (house of a saint), Berber motives or African motives. Due to the fact that these items are hand crafted, colours and patterns may vary slightly from the exhibited items. In the frame of ourCollectors Corner, we can also seek for you other ceramics and pottery products according to your specifications and descriptions. |
