Morrocan tiles are richly steeped with history and tradition, they are created with knowledge and skills that have been passed from generation to generation of talented Morrocan artisans since the 1300s. These tiles are literally individual works of art created by hand with techniques that have taken each artisan many years to master from start to finish.

Each individual tiles slight variations adding character and beauty, they really are just like hanging many little artworks in your home. These incredible tiles are perfect for creating focal points within an interior or for adding that certain Je ne sais quo to a dimly lit bar or commercial space.

The creation of a Moroccan tile is anything but generic and factory-like. The process begins with the hand harvesting of clay from a quarry that is then refined and dried. The dried clay is then cut and painted, again by hand, before being fired, glazed and refined to produce the magnificent end result. Some Morrocan tiles are also hand-etched, thus requiring a delicate hammered chiseling process that is said to take decades for these dedicated artisans to master. A true art form that we hope will never get lost as time marches ever promptly forward.

Our obsession with handmade tile treasure doesn’t stop there as we are also honored to include a selection of the most precious and exquisite Glazed tiles within the Jatana range.
