Moroccan Tiles Technical Information

Our Moroccan tiles also know as Zellige are entirely crafted by hand and consists of 100% handmade clay. Small imperfections such as tiny cracks and chips that add character to the rustic nature of the tile are not considered a defect.  All Moroccan Tiles  items are handmade in Morocco; these tiles must be treated/considered in a similar manner to a natural product. Each tile is different from the next, as they are made by hand, specific for your project. 

Please note the following features of Zellige mosaics are not defects, they are what constitute an authentic Zellige tile:

• Chips off the surface of the glaze exposing the clay beneath or Imperfections on the tile face 
• Dips in the surface of the tile
• Uneven edging of the tile
