EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the ancient Medina district of Fes, Morocco, a vibrant ceramic shop beckons visitors with its dazzling display of brightly colored tagine bowls and plates. The air is thick with the aroma of cinnamon, ginger, and other spices, a reminder of the rich and flavorful dishes that have been cooked in these very bowls for generations. The tagines, named after the eponymous cooking vessel, are an essential part of Moroccan cuisine and culture. These conical, earthenware pots are used to slow-cook hearty stews, infusing the food with the unique flavors of the spices and the clay. The bowls and plates, adorned with intricate, ornate designs in shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, and deep red, are not only functional cooking utensils but also works of art. The ceramic shop, nestled in the labyrinthine streets of the old town, is a feast for the eyes. The walls are lined with shelves filled with tagines of all sizes, each one unique in its design. The shopkeeper, a skilled artisan, carefully selects each piece, meticulously painting and decorating them with traditional Arabic motifs, calligraphy, and geometric patterns. The tagines and plates are not just for cooking but also make beautiful home décor pieces or thoughtful gifts for friends and family. They are a testament to the rich history and tradition of Moroccan ceramics, which dates back to the Islamic Golden Age. A visit to this ceramic shop in Fes is a must for anyone seeking a taste of Morocco's vibrant culture and history. Whether for personal use or as a souvenir, these tagines and plates are a reminder of the beauty and artistry that can be found in the most unexpected places.
