FAQ

About Tafrana Ceramics

Are Tafrana ceramics handmade?

Yes. Tafrana ceramics are handmade in Morocco, with each piece shaped and finished with care. Because our products are handcrafted rather than mass-produced, small variations in shape, texture, color, and finish may naturally occur.

These variations are part of the character of handmade Moroccan pottery and make every piece unique.

Where are Tafrana ceramics made?

Our ceramics are made in Morocco, in the Ourika Valley near Marrakech. Our work is inspired by Moroccan craftsmanship, natural textures, warm colors, and timeless forms.

Are all pieces exactly the same?

No. Handmade ceramics naturally vary from one piece to another. You may notice subtle differences in dimensions, glaze, color, texture, or shape.

These differences are not defects; they are a natural characteristic of artisan pottery.


Decorative & Functional Ceramics

Are Tafrana ceramics made for decoration or everyday use?

We create different types of ceramic pieces for different purposes.

Some of our pieces are designed primarily as decorative ceramics, such as sculptural vases and home decor objects. Others are created as functional ceramics that may be suitable for serving, dining, or everyday use.

The intended use of each product is specified on its individual product page.

Can I use Tafrana ceramics for cooking or food preparation?

Some ceramic products can be designed for food-related use, while others are intended specifically for decoration.

For this reason, we recommend checking the individual product description and care instructions before using a ceramic piece for cooking, baking, food preparation, or serving.

We do not recommend using a decorative ceramic piece for food or cooking unless the product is specifically described as suitable for that purpose.

Are your ceramics food safe?

Food-safety information can vary depending on the specific piece, materials, glaze, and intended use.

For products intended for food contact, we provide the relevant information on the product page. If you are unsure whether a particular piece is suitable for food use, please contact us before using it.

Can ceramic pieces be used in the oven, microwave, or dishwasher?

Not every ceramic piece is suitable for oven, microwave, or dishwasher use.

Please follow the care and usage information provided for each product. If a product is not specifically described as suitable for a particular appliance or method of cleaning, we recommend avoiding that use.


Ordering & Custom Ceramics

Can I request a custom ceramic design?

Yes. If you have a specific idea, shape, size, or finish in mind, you can contact us to discuss a custom creation.

You can share a reference image, sketch, dimensions, or simply describe what you are looking for. We will review the idea and let you know what can be created.

Can I request a different size or color?

Some pieces may be available in different sizes, colors, or finishes. Availability depends on the design and production process.

If you are looking for a specific variation that is not listed, feel free to contact us before placing your order.

How do I place an order?

Shipping & Packaging

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer shipping to selected international destinations. Available shipping options and costs are shown during checkout based on your destination and order.

How are ceramic products packaged?

Because ceramics are fragile, every order is prepared with care and protective packaging appropriate for the piece.

Our goal is to make sure your ceramic arrives safely and securely at its destination.

Will I receive tracking information?

When tracking is available for your shipping method, tracking information will be provided after your order has been dispatched.

What should I do if my ceramic arrives damaged?

If your order arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible and provide clear photos of the package and the damaged item.

This allows us to review the situation and determine the appropriate next step according to our shipping and return policy.


Caring for Handmade Ceramics

How should I care for my Tafrana ceramic?

Handle handmade ceramics with care and avoid sudden impacts or temperature changes.

For decorative pieces, gently clean with a soft, damp cloth when needed. For functional pieces, always follow the care instructions provided on the individual product page.

Why might the color or finish look slightly different from the photos?

Handmade ceramics can show natural variations in glaze, color, texture, and surface finish. Lighting and screen settings can also affect how colors appear online.

These subtle differences are part of the handmade nature of our ceramics.
