Nabeul (Neopolis, or New
City) ancient
battlefield for the Greek founded in the 5th Century AC and
twin sister to an other Neoapolis (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.
Wall
murals and backsplashes are "must have" in every Tunisian
house.
The
ceramic numbers and letters are the latest innovation
in the industry; and in Nabeul, most house signs addresses
and street names are made of Ceramic Tiles.
