Product Description
Tabarka is named after a City on the Mediterranean sea in Northwestern Tunisia. Renowned for their deep history and culture of Coral fishing and jazz festivals, our Tabarka design captures the vibrant colors and whimsy of this beautiful seaside town. Each of our stoneware pieces is made and painted by hand using lead free and cadmium free food safe paints and glazes. Our new stoneware is highly durable, dishwasher and microwave safe and can now go from freezer to oven or vice versa. Nestled in the Small Tunisian town of Nabeul on the Mediterranean coast, Le Souk Ceramique and its olive wood division Le Souk Olivique, employ some 50 plus local artisans full-time to create beautiful hand-made, hand-painted stoneware ceramic and carved olive wood pieces. The company is evolving to function as an artisan cooperative, completely owned and controlled by the skilled artisans themselves. At Le Souk Ceramique, we hand paint every piece entirely free-hand. We do not use any machinery or decals or stencils for our artwork. Legally, if most of a ceramic piece is painted by machine and just a Small element is painted by hand, you can call it "hand painted". we paint every element by hand. We use a team approach that involves between 3 and 8 people depending on the design and how many colors and artistic elements are included. The entire production is performed by the artisans.
