SKU: ZEL-BEJMAT-HORIZON-GLS
Handmade in Fes, Zel represents the authentic heritage of Zellige tilemaking that has flourished in Morocco for centuries. The unique surface, edge and color variation of Zellige has made it much sought after by designers and homeowners seeking the most authentic expression of handmade tile. Today, the production of Zellige remains unchanged; each tile is made completely by hand, from forming and pressing the clay body to glazing, cutting and packing. Our Zel collection offers classic Zellige shapes as well as new offerings, all sure to bring unmatched character to any space.
Zellige tiles are made entirely by hand in Morocco and each tile will be different from the next. Please expect the following characteristics which are inherent in authentic Zellige tile from Morocco.
- Chips off the surface of the glaze exposing the clay beneath
- Imperfections on the tile face
- Dips in the surface of the tile
- Uneven edging of the tile
- Wide variation in color/shade between tile pieces
- Glaze pooling in areas of a tile
- Lime pops that expose the substrate of the tile
- Thickness variation from piece to piece
Variation between samples and tiles received is possible, as handmade techniques of glazing make shade and color variation an inherent part of the product. Samples received before shipments should be considered indicative of color only. Driftwood Design Lab will not honor any claims made for these characteristics listed above if claimed as defects.
