Item Details
In the ceramic workshops of Safi, bennasser has spent twenty-three years perfecting the ancient art of hand-painted ceramics. "Every piece we create carries the patience of the hand and the spirit of Moroccan craftsmanship," he says, and this star-shaped plate embodies that devotion. The six-pointed khatam form unfolds in vibrant mineral glazes—cobalt blues dancing with copper greens, chrome yellows brightening iron reds, all set against luminous white.
What Makes It
- Sacred geometry — The khatam star represents balance and harmony in Andalusian-Moroccan tradition
- Mineral glazes — Natural cobalt, copper, chrome, and iron create the vivid color palette
- Scalloped edges — Hand-molded borders flow along each star point before firing
- Reflective finish — Thick tin oxide glaze creates Safi's signature glossy sheen
The Craft
Using fine animal hair brushes, bennasser paints each arabesque by hand, ensuring the geometric motifs mirror each other with mathematical precision. The zellige ceramic base undergoes Safi's complex glazing process, where natural minerals transform into the rich, protective surface that makes these pieces both beautiful and enduring.
Details
Food-safe and lead-free, this versatile piece serves dried fruits and pastries beautifully, or hangs as wall art with the pre-drilled mounting holes. Hand-wash only to preserve the vibrant glazes.
