Ordering clay pots from a Turkish store

Choose the clay type (glazed or unglazed) and the size, then enter the receiving-centre address with your box number at checkout. If the store rejects your card send the links with Buy for Me, and the order stays free at the warehouse for 30 days.

How tagines reach Syria

The shipment travels overland for about two weeks and is delivered in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Hama. Open the parcel on receipt, check every piece and its lid for cracks, and photograph any breakage before signing so the case can be handled.

Wrapping and a reference price

Clay is breakable and medium in weight, so ask for double bubble wrap and a cardboard divider between pieces. The medium carton (60×40×40 cm, up to 15 kg) has a reference price of 15 to 20 US dollars by region, customs excluded, and usually holds two or three tagines.

Preparing before first use

Soak an unglazed tagine in water before first use, put it in a cold oven and raise the heat gradually. Do not put it on a direct flame unless it says it suits the hob. Charges may be applied in Syria by value and quantity, and shop orders are priced separately.

Glazed and unglazed clay before ordering

Clay pots are chosen by their coating: unglazed clay breathes and keeps the moisture of cooking but needs soaking before use, while glazed clay is easier to clean and suits serving. Ask whether it suits the oven or the hob, check the lid and rim for cracks, and do not buy a set without clear photos of its base.

Transit, delivery and price by country

Syria: clay pots arrive by land after about two weeks in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Hama, and their safety depends on double wrapping for each piece. Jordan: land suits Amman, Irbid and Aqaba, and sea is cheaper for large heavy sets. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman: air from Istanbul suits a few pieces, but a full set is heavy, so calculate the fee before ordering. Charges may apply in each country by value and quantity, and shops get a separate quote.
