Sourced from the Cap Bon peninsula in Tunisia, Gharyan Stoneware starts its life as pure, mineral-rich clay fed by the azure depths of the Mediterranean Sea. As an area steeped in the deeply ancient tradition of pottery, expert craftsmen have lived for generations among the citrus, roses, vines and jasmines in the gardens of Cap Bon, passing down thousands of years of pure artistry, hand-to-hand, to the artisans that continue to create our stoneware pieces today.
At Gharyan, they believe in sustainability and fair trade and only work with partners that share these values. All products are made in Tunisia where it's guaranteed that workers benefit from every right: social insurance, 8 hours work/day, 5 days/week, enrolment with the Tunisian National Labour Union, safe working conditions, no child labour, and no labour exploitation.
