Item Details
From Essaouira's Metalwork Ateliers
In Essaouira's ancient medina, where Atlantic breezes mingle with the ring of hammer on metal, skilled artisans shape copper into vessels that have graced Moroccan tables for generations. This serving plate emerges from workshops where the craft passes from father to son, each strike of the hammer guided by centuries of knowledge.
The Craft Behind the Piece
The copper begins as flat sheets, gradually shaped through patient hammering into its final form. Each indentation tells the story of skilled hands working metal into submission, while the camel bone inlay requires precise cutting and fitting into traditional geometric patterns that speak to Morocco's nomadic heritage. The rich dark red finish deepens with use, developing a patina that makes each plate uniquely yours.
What Defines This Plate
- Hand-hammered copper surface that catches and reflects candlelight
- Traditional Berber metalwork techniques preserved across generations
- Camel bone inlay details in geometric patterns
- Rich dark red finish that evolves with time
- Generous size perfect for communal Moroccan dining
Care Instructions
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately to preserve the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might damage the bone inlay. The copper will naturally develop character over time—embrace this patina as part of your plate's story, or polish gently with lemon and salt to restore its original luster.
