Hand Painted Tile – Moorish Marrakech Style

Hand painted tile – Moorish star pattern in Marrakech style

It is fascinating to watch how Moroccan artisans paint glazed clay tiles with a steady hand. Hand-painted tiles are created in this way in traditional workshops in Morocco, where each ornament is carefully applied by hand. Only after the second firing process in the oven do the colors develop their brilliant luminosity and the typical shiny surface of the ceramic tiles.

This hand-painted tile features a classic Moorish star pattern with geometric ornaments in blue, turquoise, white and warm ocher tones. The harmonious play of colors is reminiscent of traditional decorative tiles from Marrakech and gives rooms an authentic oriental character. Thanks to the hand-painted design, no two tiles are exactly the same - each individual ceramic tile has its own charm.

Traditional hand painted ceramic tiles from Morocco

Painting glazed clay tiles has been part of Moroccan craftsmanship for centuries. These Moroccan tiles are made in several steps: first the clay is shaped and fired, then glazed and finally painted by hand. Fine black lines frame the colored ornaments and give the geometric shapes their clear structure. In Morocco, such tiles are also used in the tradition of Zellige art.

Ideal for kitchen, bathroom and decorative wall surfaces

With their format of approximately 10 × 10 cm, these hand-painted clay tiles are ideal as decorative wall tiles. They are particularly popular as kitchen splashbacks, tile backsplashes or as decorative tile strips in the bathroom or guest toilet.

These oriental ceramic tiles are also a stylish choice for designing a counter, small wall surfaces or decorative details in a café, restaurant or catering establishment. In old apartments, Mediterranean country house kitchens or in boho and vintage styles, several motifs can be combined to form a lively patchwork and create an authentic ambience.
