* Jobbanas are a direct descendant of Chinese productions imported to Morocco from the end of the 18th century. Jobbanas inherited the squat shapes of Cantonese ginger jars, but also gained in originality: the shapes flared out, and the piece, initially in one piece with a small lid at its top, was transformed into a two-part "butter pot". The master ceramicists of Fez also knew how to imprint the mark of their creative genius on them: classical Chinese motifs gave way to the abundant floral repertoire of Fez, imbued with Hispano-Moorish reminiscences.
