EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in Morocco's bustling city of Casablanca. The image, taken in the 1950s, depicts a Moroccan pot seller skillfully displaying his wares on the side of a narrow street. The vendor proudly presents an array of traditional earthenware pots and jars, including amphorae and tagines, which have been used for centuries in Moroccan cooking and storage. The seller's shop or stall, adorned with colorful fabrics and various utensils, adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The vessels, with their intricate designs and rich earthy tones, are a testament to the long and rich history of Moroccan pottery. The seller's attentive gaze towards the camera suggests that he takes great pride in his craft and the cultural heritage it represents. The use of ewers and other large jars, which can be seen in the background, further emphasizes the importance of water in Moroccan culture. The ewers, with their elegant spouts and intricate designs, were traditionally used to carry water from wells or public fountains to homes and businesses. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Morocco's past, showcasing the country's rich cultural heritage and the importance of traditional crafts in the lives of its people. The pot seller's shop in Casablanca serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between Moroccan history and the beautiful and functional earthenware vessels that continue to be used and cherished today.
