Cream is a warm off-white glazed by hand in Fez, Morocco. Fez Terra Cotta is a natural, unglazed terracotta handmade in Fez, Morocco. The finish is raw and earthy, showing the full character of the clay.

The Khatem Border is a hand-cut zellige border featuring a repeating eight-pointed star, one of the most traditional forms in Moroccan geometric design. It is used to frame floors, walls, stair risers, and transition lines. In Cream and Fez Terra Cotta, the star stands out in warm, natural clay. A grounded combination for earthy interiors and Moroccan-influenced spaces.

Note: Fez Terra Cotta is unglazed and should be sealed before use. This combination is not recommended for continuously wet areas such as showers.

Each tile is individually handmade in Fez, Morocco. Variation in color, surface texture, and edge is natural and expected across both glazed and unglazed tiles in this combination.
