Floral Compass Design Inspired by Zellige Motifs:
A bold, petal-centered medallion anchors this plate’s symmetrical design, blooming outward into a striking floral compass. Cobalt blue, earthy sienna, and deep crimson pigments are layered with black contouring, evoking the vibrancy of North African mosaics. The border features rhythmic arches and geometric flourishes, reminiscent of Islamic architectural artistry. -
Handcrafted in Safi, Morocco:
Each plate is skillfully wheel-thrown from local red clay, hand-painted by master artisans, and fired using traditional kilns. The raw terracotta base retains a matte finish and reveals subtle maker’s marks—proof of genuine Moroccan craft lineage. -
Versatile for Serving or Display:
Whether used for serving fruit, couscous, or displayed on a kitchen wall, this shallow ceramic dish offers dual value. Its slightly raised foot ring adds elevation—ideal for festive table settings or as a curated wall accent in boho-chic or Mediterranean interiors. -
Material & Glaze:
Made from lead-free, food-safe clay with a durable gloss glaze on the top surface. This finish enhances both color brilliance and ease of cleaning, while the underside remains raw and richly textured in its natural fired tone. -
