The Narrative

The Soul of the Object

Embrace the time-honored tradition of Moroccan hospitality with the 'Amira' tea set, a stunning masterpiece hailing from the historic workshops of Fes. This complete ensemble, featuring a graceful teapot, three inviting cups, and a uniquely shaped serving tray, represents a harmonious marriage of two distinct artisanal crafts. The core of each piece is hand-thrown ceramic, adorned with bold, hand-painted black tribal motifs against a stark white glaze, echoing ancient Berber design languages. This ceramic base is then meticulously encased in elaborate silver metal filigree, a technique known as 'maillechort' overlay. Master artisans painstakingly cut, hammer, and solder the metal into swirling, arabesque patterns that frame and enhance the painted designs beneath, adding texture and a luxurious gleam. The teapot is crowned with a hinged, spire-like lid, and the cups are perfectly sized for a traditional pour of sweet mint tea. The entire set rests upon a matching tray, crafted in the shape of an eight-pointed star, a symbol of balance and harmony. More than just functional serveware, the 'Amira' set is a captivating work of art that transports the vibrant energy of the Moroccan souk into your home. It is an ideal centerpiece for gathering friends and family, turning every tea service into a special occasion. Due to its handcrafted nature, each set is unique, bearing the individual mark of the artisan's hand.

"Every imperfection tells a story of human hands at work."
