Potiers de Fes
The pottery quarter on the southern edge of Fes el-Bali, where the blue-and-white Fassi ceramic tradition has been maintained since the 14th century. The clay comes from deposits outside the city. The cobalt blue comes from imported mineral oxide. The forms — plates, tagines, decorative tiles — have not changed in seven centuries.
