The individual artworks featured in exhibitions in UK and Israel and in museum collections in UK and Holland.
The pottery shown in this gallery is a small representation of Azaz's portfolio, comprising personal hand-made works made in the early to mid-1950's while Azaz was in Amsterdam and London, artworks created in Israel during 1956-61, and pottery designs created by Azaz for the Harsa Ceramic Art Department; these were then decorated by a team of artists under his direction and exported through Maskit.
