The founders of the religious brotherhood Nasiriyya wanted to raise the status of the village of Tamegroute to that of a "Medina", that is to say to make it a city.
They assembled the merchants and craftsmen that they had brought from Fes, a city that enjoyed good relations with Tamegroute at the time.
However, today Tamegroute is a little village again, but the pottery has become its main characteristic.
Except for a few ochre shades, a green glaze is the dominant colour in pottery from Tamegroute.
As with Fes Zelliges, and even more so, the ancient techniques give the glaze infinite variations.
