As part of a Franco-German project entitled
CeramEgypt, the Centre d’Etudes
Alexandrines has set out to study potters’ workshops that are still active in different
parts of Egypt: along the Nile valley, in the
Fayoum and in the Delta. At Edfina, near
Alexandria, the workshop of Hag Youssef
produces flowerpots. The production
is bought directly by nursery or orchard
owners, or else it is taken to a large store
in Edfina that markets ceramics from all
over Egypt.
