Tazrart Pitcher

Name

Product Name: “Tazrart Pitcher”

“Tazrart” means “stream” in Tamazight — inspired by flowing water and ancient vessels.

The Story Behind the Piece

The Tazrart Pitcher combines tradition and fluidity in both form and glaze. Earthy, mossy tones drip organically down the sides like mountain spring water winding over rocks. This piece nods to ancestral ceramic forms used for daily rituals — carrying, pouring, serving — reimagined with a moody, contemporary finish.

It’s a functional object with sculptural presence, made for slow-living tables and wabi-sabi aesthetics.

Why It’s Special

• Lustrous glaze effect: A mix of olive, moss, bronze, and forest tones blending in a lava-flow finish
• Tactile contrast: Matte olive base meets glossy textured upper body
• Functional yet bold: Great for pouring or simply displaying on its own

How It’s Made

1. Wheel-thrown with precision
   • Simple, timeless cylinder with lip spout and handle
2. Bisque fired
   • Stabilized and prepped for glaze
3. Layered reactive glazes
   • Brushed and dipped for rich topography of greens and blacks
   • High-fired for natural mineral reactions and waterfall effect
