WHAT IT IS

This silver-plated tea set is a complete 8-piece entertaining collection featuring a hand-engraved teapot, decorative serving tray, and six handblown colored glasses. Designed for traditional mint tea service and modern gatherings, this artisan-crafted set combines functional elegance with authentic Moroccan heritage. Each piece showcases intricate geometric patterns that catch the light beautifully, creating an impressive presentation for any occasion from intimate family gatherings to restaurant service.

HOW IT’S MADE

Created by master metalworkers in Marrakech using centuries-old techniques, each tea set requires 4-5 days to complete. Artisans begin with high-quality brass, carefully applying silver plating before meticulously hand-engraving traditional geometric patterns using specialized tools. The process demands exceptional precision—each pattern must align perfectly across the teapot’s curved surface and tray’s ornate borders. The colored tea glasses are individually handblown by skilled glassmakers, creating unique variations in each piece. This time-intensive craftsmanship ensures durability and authentic character that machine-made sets cannot replicate, resulting in an heirloom-quality piece.

WHY IT MATTERS

Beyond its practical use for tea service, this set represents a living craft tradition passed down through generations of Moroccan artisans. By choosing handcrafted over mass-produced, you’re supporting traditional craftspeople and sustainable production methods. Each tea ceremony becomes a cultural experience—the weight of quality metal in your hands, the play of light on engraved patterns, the vibrant jewel tones of the glasses. It’s not just serving tea; it’s creating memorable moments and preserving heritage craftsmanship.

THE CRAFTSMAN’S STORY

THE COLLABORATION

Your tea set represents the convergence of two ancient crafts: Kamal’s metalwork and Said’s glassblowing. Though working in separate quarters of Marrakech, these artisans are connected through centuries-old supply chains that have sustained the city’s craft economy.

What Your Purchase Supports:

• Living Wages – Artisans earn 3-4x Morocco’s minimum wage
• 14 Families – Stable employment across both workshops
• Skill Preservation – Traditional techniques taught to apprentices
• Cultural Heritage – Maintaining Morocco’s 800-year metalworking legacy
• Quality Standards – Each piece inspected by master craftspeople

The slight variations you’ll notice—tiny asymmetries in engraving depth, subtle color differences in glasses—aren’t flaws. They’re signatures proving human hands, not machines, created this set. When you serve tea from these pieces, you’re sharing the work of Kamal’s hands, Said’s breath, and generations of artisan knowledge.
