Tounis Cup
FAYOUM POTTERY COLLECTION
DESCRIPTION
Tounis series is a robust and refined traditional pottery series of cups, bowls, plates and salad bowls, fully handmade and hand painted in the small village of Fayoum, on the edge of an oasis in Egypt. Its primitive, hand-painted pattern of palmtree and thickness, typically shows how the African continent abounds with marvelous craftsmanship for the home. They are fabricated with local materials calling upon traditional enamelling techniques that had disappeared since the 13th century and reintroduced by a Swiss ceramist in the 1980s. Tradition perpetuated today by 3 generations of potters.
