Why Is Safi Pottery So Expensive?

Marked “Safi” behind the utensils, the label does not represent a person or a brand. It’s the name of Morocco’s historic coastal city, which should rather be called the country’s pottery capital.
It starts with a mixture of clay and water but after several days of creative labor, it becomes a work of art. While it is sold at relatively lower prices in the country, it could become quite costly reaching bigger markets. But what makes it so expensive?
To find the answer, we visited Sintir Mohamed in Safi, who has been working in the field for over 50 years. His relationship with the clay is of passion and spirituality.
Safi pottery holds the reputation of artistic and cultural heritage of value beyond estimation. It continues to boost the local economy, brings foreign investment, and contributes to the country’s appeal as a cultural tourism destination.
The story of Safi’s pottery is a lesson of passion and consistency. It teaches us that If you have the privilege of working on something you love, never let it go!

God gave us the ability to create, so we created the machine and watched it. We died.

We created God. He made us his slave.

This is a very wise and thoughtful man. You can see he has learned so much about life just from looking within. It is my wish for this mans son to see how much dignity and value there is in this as his career path. He can modernize if he wishes, but I pray he carries on his fathers fine work.

What if your son would start an online business selling your pottery? He could use the computer and still be in the business!
