Marrakech Silver Filigree Tea Service for Six

From Marrakech's Silver Workshops

In the narrow lanes of Marrakech's medina, master silversmiths shape gossamer threads of silver into elaborate patterns, their hammers tapping rhythms passed down through generations. This tea service emerges from those workshops, where each curve and flourish speaks to centuries of Moroccan hospitality.

What Makes It Special

• Handwoven silver filigree in traditional Moroccan patterns
• Complete service for six with matching tray and glasses
• Weight and substance of quality silverwork
• Medina-crafted using ancestral techniques

The Craft Behind It

Silver filigree demands patience and precision. Artisans first draw silver into impossibly fine wires, then coil, twist, and solder them into intricate lacework. Each teapot begins as flat sheets and wire, transformed through careful hammering and soldering into vessels that pour with perfect balance. The glasses, mouth-blown to complement the set, bear the slight irregularities that mark true handwork.

Care Instructions

Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive cleaners that might catch in the delicate wirework. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent tarnishing. Store in a dry place, and polish occasionally with a silver cloth to maintain the filigree's brilliant shine. The natural patina that develops in recessed areas adds depth to the patterns.
