Fayoum Oasis is a worldwide trading link from Egypt. Since 1998 it has exported hundreds of containers with mainly handmade pottery and wooden products. The business is named after the place where most of its producers live and work. Over the years Fayoum Oasis has generated income for dozens of producers (and their employees) and maintained strong relationships with those producers. Our company holds great value in supporting our employees, with the goal of improving the working- and living conditions.

The pottery is produced in a traditional manner with the craft passed on from generation to generation and has altered little in maybe 2000 years. Consequently, Fayoum Oasis’ pottery expresses a distinct and authentic handmade pottery tradition, with each piece bearing the marks of the craftsman’s hands. Many of the products’ shapes originate from traditional domestic utensils like water-jugs, pitchers and store-pots.

Fayoum Oasis as the trading link to foreign markets has always had a vital input into issues of quality and aesthetics as well as in developing new products. On request we can make specific products for our customers. The products can be made in various colours or structures. Ask our sales department for the possibilities.
