The traditional Moroccan zellige mosaic tables,  use patterns of glossy glazed tiles and unglazed terracotta tiles, adding a beautiful texture to the colorful design. Mosaic tiles are hand cut and glazed in the various colors that will be needed to create the intricate patterns on the tops. the mosaic tiles are placed one by one then they are covered by a special cement that holds the mosaic tiles. The final step is the filling in of grout around the tiles. The tabletops are then set into a wrought iron.
