Accent ceramic tiles from
Nabeul, for Swimming pools, hot tubs, and Jacuzzi Decor. |
Nabeul, is where the tiles
are handcrafted.
Nabeul, (Neapolis, or New
City) ancient battlefield for the Greek founded in the 5th Century
AC and twin sister to an other Neapolis (Naples, Italy), is the
Capital of the Ceramic in Tunisia.
Thanks to its strategic location in the Central Coast of the
Mediterranean and the diversity of its agricultural produces, Nabeul
has known a massive flow of immigrants from all over the
Mediterranean who brought with them a know-how in agriculture
development as well as in manufacturing industries.
Known since the Greek and
Roman eras for its pottery made out of fine terra cotta, Nabeul has
developed a more diversified quality of pottery with the arrival of
Islam to the Region, by shifting it styles to the well-known Persian
Decor (current Iran)
Ceramics has been since considered for Mosques and Palaces Decor.
Nabeul has know three major stages in its optimization of techniques
and pottery production.
In a first stage, Nabeul's pottery shown strong development signs
following the influence of the Renaissance Movement, born in the
neighboring Italy.
Later on, Muslims chased from Andalusia, Spain (15th Century DC)
after the conquest of Spain by the Catholics, found refuge in the
Region of Nabeul and neighboring areas.
A last major influence on the fired pottery production took place
when the Country became under French Protectorate (19-20th Century
DC)
A dozen of Mom & Pop companies, in major part of Andalusia, Spain
origins, supply about 80% of the Tunisian overall Ceramics
production, consisting of : building and hardware (bathroom and
kitchen decor) , decorative (ceramic murals and tiles) , and
kitchenware products (dinnerware and tea sets.)
The increasing number of tourists visiting the region has
contributed to the growth of pottery production, soliciting artisans
to come out with designs to meet the "European Tastes."
Today, local authorities
finance networks of schools to teach the art of pottery in order to
boost supply, and support meeting the international demand for Mom
and Pop factories.
Nabeul's ceramics are mainly exported to Italy, Malta, France,
Greece, Spain, UK., Germany, Belgium, Argentina, Australia, Canada
... and in recent years to the United States.
