As a piece of background, Britannica.com says that “the term Moorish continues to be widely used to describe the art, architecture, and high culture of Muslim Andalusia and North Africa dating from the 11th century onward.” There is a lot to unpack in that description.

Let’s get back to Moorish Style Ceramic Tiles for a minute with an emphasis on shape. There may be no other shape more closely associated with the Moorish style than the “Arabesque” piece. This design element can be interpreted in many ways, (longer, wider), but it remains a central component of the genre.
