Pottery and Ceramics


The distinctive pottery and ceramics of Palestine are renowned globally for their intricate, arabesque designs - a legacy reinforced when a Turkish family of ceramic specialists was brought to Jerusalem in the early 20th century to replace the tiles at the iconic Dome of the Rock, subsequently establishing a thriving local business. Today, the artistic traditions of Palestinian ceramics span a diverse range, from vibrant tiles and plates to vases and hanging ornaments, each imbued with a captivating cultural essence. Visitors to these renowned workshops are often delighted to have their names personally painted onto tiles, creating cherished mementos of their historic journey through this storied land.
