Shell Rosette & Scrollwork Harmony:
The centerpiece is a medallion of scarlet blossoms flanked by blue arabesques and ochre flourishes, echoing the zellige (tilework) found in Moroccan riads. The repeated fan-shell pattern, in warm terracotta tones, brings a rhythmic movement to the plate’s surface, all framed by brush-tipped cobalt leaves. -
Crafted by Artisans in Safi, Morocco:
Wheel-thrown from local clay and hand-glazed in small batches, this piece reflects the centuries-old Safiot ceramic tradition. The plate’s unglazed terracotta underside bears subtle signs of the artisan’s hand, making each item uniquely one-of-a-kind. -
