Surprises in Safi, part seven

Glitter, superheroes, hello kitty, disco mirrors, 3D ocean creatures and fruit......... it's all for sale in the Safi ceramic souks. This sort of  themed pottery  was actually a surprise to me, it was not quite what I was expecting and not what I had in mind to buy but horses for courses !! It is all made locally and I watched the man painting on the glue before dipping those teapot urn things into the dish of gritty glitter. Most men manning their stalls had a paintbrush in hand. If psychedelic colour and glitz is not your thing then you can certainly buy any number of terracotta tagine dishes and other ceramics with more traditional painted Berber designs . I was wanting a more Moroccan look to add to my kitchenware and it can be found but what I spotted on my hunt was quite an eye opener !!!!
