Our mosaic zellige tiles are handmade in Morocco from a special blend of clays and are left unglazed, or 'raw', to showcase their beautiful natural colour and texture.

Consider pairing with our accenting zellige squares in green or white.

IMPORTANT INFO:
Our zellige and bejmat tiles are hand made in Fez using traditional, centuries old and artisanal methods. Each tile is individual and may not exactly match the colour and surface texture of the sample tile you receive. Fossilised shell pieces in the clay found around Fez cause pitting in the surface, chips and hairline cracks. This is totally normal and gives the rustic and authentic look we love. Please have a look at our lifestyle images to see examples of this. If you do not wish to use these types of tile in your project, we recommend ordering 25% extra to cover any discards you wish to make.

Earth, shaped by hand.

Terracotta has always been a Bert & May staple. So when we set out to find our terracotta, we knew we had to find something exceptional.

After years of working with quarries and makers across Italy and France, we found Jesús and his family workshop on the outskirts of Alicante, Spain. For more than 30 years, his family has been making terracotta here - and, without hesitation, we think they make some of the finest in the world.

Just as great wine is shaped by its terroir, great terracotta begins with the clay from which it is made. The clay used for our tiles comes from the family’s own quarry, quite literally on their doorstep. The team take what they need from the earth and transform it, by hand, into beautiful terracotta slabs.

There is no need to overcomplicate something this beautiful. We don't add dyes, bleaches or artificial colourings. What you see is what you get - pure Spanish clay, shaped and fired into tile.

For us, this is terracotta at its very best — nothing added, nothing disguised, just extraordinary earth turned into something you’ll live with for years.
