Moroccan Grey Tagine

Description

The craft of “tadelakt” is a Moroccan tradition, using shell lime from the Marrakech plateau, where the original tadelakt lime can be found. The word “tadelakt” translates as “to rub in”: olive soap is rubbed in resulting in a hydrophobic lime plaster used on both the interior and exteriors of buildings. It is the traditional coating of the palaces, hammams and bathrooms of the riads in Morocco. Tadelakt has a luxurious and soft tactile touch.

Tagine or Tajine is a traditional cooking pot made of pottery, sometimes painted or glazed. It consists of two parts: a flat and circular base unit and a large cone-shaped cover.

My tagines are decoration objects and not meant to be used for cooking. I keep my keys (except when I misplace them before!) in them.
