Why Is Safi Pottery So Expensive?

[@samirkazah302]

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

I love when people ask "why x thing is expensive" especially in regards to arts and crafts. Why shouldn't it be? It's a tangible, handmade item that is very much unique and that goes through a long process to finish. This isn't mass marketed products that come from China. Artisans are very much artists, in fact they are the first artists and it takes years if not a whole life to master one's craft. It is only fair that they sell their products at a higher price. It's very much a luxury item, Safi pottery is highly regarded in Morocco and elsewhere.

[@ElizabethHurtado-py8ur]

I love Moroccan pottery, it is so vibrant and beautiful.

[@Y.M93]

I live in Safi and watching this process is just a true joy for me, thanks for putting the light on those artists and this art.. This is our legacy, so proud of it

[@StoryRaven]

Thank you for watching!

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.

[@valerieneal2747]

@rosetealatte9282 Definitely....traditions such as these are our lifeline to global humanity..

[@LAMB-w8h]

If I lived closer to this man, I’d be the first in line to carry on his tradition.

[@Alternate_real]

Btw, we have the same kind of pottery here in India in most big cities at the outskirts you will find a caste of people called the "kumbhar" working on such vibrant and beautiful pottery. We dont value it as it is roadside albeit big makeshift shops.

[@Che_Guna]

[@maestasify]

Enamel or clear glaze?

[@tegannottelling]

clear glaze, the narrator doesn't understand pottery and I would bet his interpreter chose the word enamel. Though you can paint fired pottery with enamel it just won't last as long as glaze and isn't food safe. (Neither is earthenware technically, as it only has about 16% vitrification, but people have been using it for centuries)

[@jsa-z1722]

Great! 👍 Thank you! But a pretty weird sounding script!

[@StoryRaven]

[@muhammadtech9011]

Trust me, Safi poetry is not expensive. It's so cheap

[@mercanitobloma]

It's expensive because you are a tourist 😅

[@ahmedalhoceimi3055]

believe me, everything that is handcrafted in Morocco is really expensive, Kaftans, potteries and the list goes on ;)

[@stayforgood5160]

That s your stereotypes as if tourists are the center of the world even we citizens we buy it expensive bcs artisans become rare and raw meterial as well ...rent of local is hiiighly expensive

[@mercanitobloma]

@stayforgood5160 Just to clarify :) I didn’t mean that tourists are overly important! They’re valuable guests, and if they leave happy, they’ll become great ambassadors for the destination.

I noticed that unlike in Islamic art, some of these designs depict people and animals and such. Is this not considered haram? Loved the beauty of these creations.

[@chayqueen7609]

Actually, these animal representation are not popular at all, being from Morocco I have never seen these in Muslim houses. I think those could be for specific orders, such as for touristic purposes 😊

[@immuslimisupportqatar7591]

we dont paint animal in potery but i think he do that for tourist

HARAM? SAY WHAT? LOL

[@sapphireemerald6882]

The human body is made of clay. Then Allah put spirit in it. Then that spirit choose it's path. Good or evil. Then, it became God on earth. Even though it was lifeless, clay in the start and will return to its original position in the end.
