Product Description

Experience the charm and precision of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with the “Sahara Mosaic Jewel,” a masterfully hand-painted ceramic plate that blends artistry with everyday functionality. Handmade in the historic pottery town of Safi, Morocco, this piece is a radiant celebration of color, symmetry, and cultural heritage—ideal for use as a decorative wall piece, centerpiece, or boho-style serving dish.

Product Features:

  • Intricate Star Mandala Design:
    At the heart of the design lies a geometric Moroccan starburst mandala, ringed by a checkerboard border of green, red, orange, and navy blue. Inspired by traditional zellige tilework, this motif evokes the ancient mosaic patterns found in Moroccan palaces, souks, and riads. Its layered design and rich color palette give it striking visual depth.

  • 100% Handmade in Safi, Morocco:
    Thrown and painted by master artisans in Safi—Morocco’s most iconic pottery hub—this ceramic plate is made using high-quality terracotta and hand-glazed with a glossy, food-safe finish. No two pieces are exactly alike, reflecting the true essence of Moroccan handmade pottery.

  • Versatile Use – Display or Serve:
    Perfect for use as a fruit bowl, mezze platter, or Moroccan wall decor. Its shallow base and wide rim offer functional elegance, while the underside retains the raw beauty of unglazed terracotta—a hallmark of authentic Moroccan tableware.

  • Material & Glaze:
    Crafted from locally sourced clay, this plate features a lead-free, food-safe glaze on top with a raw terracotta base. The contrast between the smooth, polished surface and earthy back reflects the natural charm of handmade ceramics.

  • Dimensions:
    Diameter: 21.59 cm (8.5 in)
    (Please allow for slight variations due to its handcrafted nature.)
