Fayoum Daisy Tray With Red Dots (Approximate Size 38 x 14 cm)
Bring the warmth, colour and artistry of the Egyptian oasis into your home with this extraordinary handmade Fayoum Daisy Tray With Red Dots.
Crafted in the small village of Tunis in Fayoum, each piece is individually shaped and decorated by skilled artisans using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Made from local clay sourced from the Nile Valley in Aswan, this remarkable pottery celebrates both craftsmanship and the rich artistic heritage of Egypt.
The story of Fayoum pottery is one of creativity, revival and community.
In the 1980s, Swiss-born potter Evelyne Porret and her husband founded the Fayoum Pottery School & Workshop, reintroducing ancient enamelling techniques that had largely disappeared since the 13th century.
Their vision transformed the village of Tunis into a thriving centre of ceramic artistry, where today many small, independent workshops continue to create beautifully distinctive pottery by hand.
Every Fayoum pottery piece reflects the personality and imagination of its maker. Decorated with playful motifs inspired by the flora and fauna of the oasis, the designs are wonderfully expressive, featuring birds, fish, flowers and organic patterns in rich yet harmonious colours.
The free and naïve style gives each piece an unmistakable charm, ensuring no two are ever exactly alike.
More than simply pottery, these pieces are individual works of art that bring texture, authenticity and character to a table, shelf or kitchen display. Whether used for serving, styling or gifting, Egyptian Fayoum pottery offers a timeless connection to traditional artisan craftsmanship and the beauty of handmade design.
As the Egyptian proverb from Fayoum beautifully says:
“Loola k-kasuura ma-kaanit il-faxuura”
- “Were it not for breakages, there would be no potteries.”
This poetic saying perfectly captures the spirit of handmade ceramics - fragile yet enduring, practical yet deeply artistic and always full of soul.
