Tamegroute Serpent Vase — Ochre (40 cm)

A rare sculptural vase handmade in Tamegroute, southern Morocco.
The tall bottle form is wrapped in intricate serpent reliefs, carved entirely by hand before glazing.
Its ochre glaze reveals warm bronze and amber undertones — a hallmark of the region’s ancient kiln tradition.

The Craft

Each vase is shaped from local clay and wood-fired in underground kilns, producing organic glaze variations that cannot be replicated.
The serpent design symbolises protection and transformation, motifs deeply rooted in Moroccan artisan culture.
The result is a commanding piece that feels both historic and timeless — perfect for collectors and interiors that value authenticity.

Styling

Display as a sculptural accent on a console, shelf, or mantelpiece.
Its tall neck complements dried flowers, grasses, or branches, while the intricate carving gives texture and depth to minimalist spaces.
Pairs beautifully with natural linen, oak, or stone finishes.
