The pottery

In south Atlas oasis, pottery is a professional male activity, and several villages are specialized in it.

It is simple and useful pottery, without ornamental painting, but glazed sometimes with natural enamel.

This enamel is composed of three minerals: quartz; a sandy clay, and lastly lead sulfide if an ochre tone is desired or copper oxide for a green tone.
