Where it comes from
What is Fès pottery?
Made for the table, not just the shelf
Dishwasher and microwave safe
Use it every day. It goes in the dishwasher, and you can warm food on it in the microwave.
Fès white clay, fired hot
A thick body fired at a high temperature. Our artisan team chose this clay because it stands up to daily contact with liquids better than terracotta.
Painted by hand
Every leaf and dot is painted by hand in Fès, so no two plates are exactly alike.

Questions
What size plate do you need to serve couscous for four?
About 28 cm (11 in) across with a shallow dip. This Fès plate is 28 cm (11 in) in diameter and 4 cm (1.6 in) deep, and serves couscous for about four people. For eight, order the pair.
Is this Moroccan plate dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes. The plate can go in the dishwasher, and you can warm food on it in the microwave.
Can it go in the oven?
It is not recommended. It is a serving plate, not a cooking dish, and long exposure to high heat, such as in the oven, the broiler or on a stovetop, can crack the glazed surface. Cook in your tagine or pot, then serve on the plate.
What else can I serve on a Moroccan couscous plate?
Tagines, once cooked, Moroccan salads such as zaalouk and taktouka, roasted vegetables, fruit, dates and Moroccan sweets. The 4 cm (1.6 in) depth holds sauce and broth.
What is the difference between Fès white clay and terracotta?
Fès white clay fires to a pale body that holds hand-painted color clearly. This plate has a thick body fired at a high temperature, which our artisan team chose because it stands up to daily contact with liquids better than terracotta.
Is every plate exactly the same?
No. Mohamed Cheriff A. paints each plate by hand in Fès, so the leaves, lines and dots differ slightly from one plate to the next. Two plates in a pair will match in design but not line for line.
Is it a good gift for someone who loves Moroccan cooking?
Yes. It is sized for a real family couscous, it is dishwasher and microwave safe, and it arrives with an Origin Passport naming the maker. Gift wrapping with a note can be added after purchase, and US orders arrive with duties and taxes already paid.

Even more beautiful in person
The pieces look even more beautiful in person, especially when they are lit. The fact that you noticed the crack during your final quality check and chose to replace the piece rather than send it to me says a lot about the standards you have for your work. The letter from you and the certificate of verified origin were also a wonderful touch.
