Neon Lit Pottery Market at Night in Kafr el-Dawwar

by Jessie Conley

Stacks of unglazed earthenware pots rise in orderly columns within a ceremonial alcove, their rough clay surfaces catching the cool, artificial glow of overhead neon tubes. The deep winter night presses against the open archway, where shadows pool heavily along the textured stone walls. Dust motes hang still in the beams of blue-white light, illuminating the curved rims and hand-pressed seams of the vessels. Each pot bears the faint fingerprints of its maker, visible in the uneven thickness of the clay. The scene rests in a heavy silence, with the stark artificial light casting sharp, geometric reflections on the smooth glazed sections of the wares while the corners remain swallowed by darkness. One crack runs down the side of the nearest jar, revealing the raw, unpolished interior.
