3. Our Aqua Fish pattern is a classic. Drenched in cool hues of azure, aqua and sea green and our coveted deep cobalt blue,
Aqua Fish is a design awash in fun. Just imagine a summer seafood feast served with our bowls and platters. We make
31 shapes and will be adding new ones to our repertoire regularly since people simply can't get enough Aqua Fish.

5. The simple elegance of blue and white are timeless for ceramic design. Our Azoura pattern combines delicate blue floral artwork that
reminds some of us of certain antique Spanish pieces, while for others it brings to mind Turkish Ottoman style or the Greek Islands. But
at heart, blue and white is the hallmark of Tunisia itself. Throughout the country you can see village after village of white walls and blue
doors and windows. Nowhere typifies this more than the picturesque town of Sidi Bou Said near Tunis. Perched high up on a hill atop
sheer cliffs overlooking the deep blues of the Mediterranean Sea, Azoura attempts to capture this soothing sentiment of calm.

7. Deep cobalt blue has become one of our trademark colors. And nothing goes better with cobalt blue than a splash of yellow.
And nothing speaks of yellow like a fresh lemon ripened to perfection in the hot Mediterranean sun. The artistry of filling in the
cobalt blue glaze in between the lemons and leaves is one of the more difficult aspects of all our design work but the result is
well worth the effort. Imagine a table-setting chock full of Citronique atop crisp linens - visually stunning!

9. Our Honey design is steeped in the tradition of North Africa. Like other aspects of the culture, our Honey design is deeply
rich with warm tones of amber, emerald and ruby. Add a touch of exotic sophistication to your table with our Honey set atop
black linens and lit up with warm candlelight. We've been painting Honey since 1997 and consider it our flagship design.

13. Nejma means “star” in Arabic. We wanted to create a design with the predominant color being a bright red with a geometric
basis. What resulted is the most intricate and difficult design we have ever made but certainly worth the effort. It takes a steady
hand to paint the lines in the red glaze and an even steadier hand to fill in the red around the stars. So sit back and imagine a
heavenly table set sumptuously with Nejma and appreciate the freehand painting by our stars, the artists of Le Souk Ceramique.

17. It seems we’ve captured the color straight from the sea! Soothing in cool, watery turquoise, our Sabrine pattern represents
everything we love about art in pottery. A contemporary take on tradition, Sabrine displays intricate details of the fusion of the
Spanish-Moorish art form. With artistic elements of intersecting arches embellished with spots of color, our Sabrine pattern
inspires thoughts of ancient art and architecture in a lavish dinnerware collection.

19. Named in part for the beautiful Tunisian seaside resort town of Tabarka where the red roofs of the Mediterranean beach
bungalows dot the coastline, our Tabarka pattern is an elaborate blend of the Italian, French and Arabic styles that throughout
history have also shaped its namesake city. Shades of red, goldenrod, grass green and cobalt blue are set against a white
background, creating a sumptuous and vibrant pattern perfect for any occasion.

22. We are making our new solid color place-
setting pieces to mix and match with our
various designs. We recognize a full spread of
Honey or Aqua Fish on a table is sometimes
just too much of a good thing. So by popular
demand, we offer these sumptuous
alternatives.
