This silver engraved glass tea set puts a transparent teapot at the centre — borosilicate glass wrapped in hand-engraved silver filigree bands. Watch the tea brew and the colour deepen as mint steeps: something no metal teapot allows. Eight pieces: glass filigree teapot with red silk tassel, six matching filigree glasses, and an ornate tray. Serves six.
Key Features & Benefits
Transparent glass teapot with red silk tassel and silver filigree: The teapot body is heat-resistant borosilicate glass — you watch the tea colour develop, the mint compress, the liquid darken as it steeps. Silver filigree bands wrap the exterior in hand-engraved geometric and floral patterns.
1-litre capacity serves six: The glass teapot holds one litre — enough to serve six guests with a second pour if needed. Proportioned for Moroccan mint tea quantities.
Six matching filigree glasses: Each glass carries the same silver filigree band detailing as the teapot — the service reads as designed rather than assembled from parts.
Naqsh tradition adapted to glass: The filigree bands use the same engraving vocabulary as the silver teapots in the collection — the same medina craft, on a different material.
Heat-resistant glass construction: Safe for hot tea serving. Do not use on direct flame — brew separately and pour into the glass teapot for serving.
The Artisan Story
The silver filigree bands on the teapot and glasses are applied by Kamal’s workshop in Marrakech’s medina — the same team that engraves the metal teapots in the collection. The filigree engraving uses the naqsh vocabulary: geometric and floral patterns from the same traditional Moroccan design language. Read about Kamal’s metalwork tradition.
This set is particularly suited to Moroccan mint tea, where watching the amber colour develop through the glass is part of the experience. Learn how Moroccan glass is made by hand.

Buyer’s Guide & Common Inquiries
Q: What makes this set different from silver-plated metal teapot sets?
A: The teapot body is transparent glass — you watch the tea brew and the colour deepen in real time. This is not possible with any metal teapot. The silver filigree exterior maintains the Moroccan aesthetic while the glass delivers a visual experience.
Q: What is silver filigree?
A: Silver filigree is a metalworking technique where fine silver is worked into intricate geometric and floral patterns — applied by hand around the glass body using the naqsh tradition from Marrakech’s medina workshops.
A: An authentic Moroccan tea set includes the berrad (teapot), siniya (engraved serving tray), and kisan (decorated tea glasses). Our complete sets typically include the teapot, serving tray, 6 traditional tea glasses, and a sugar bowl. The teapot and tray are crafted from brass or silver-plated copper, featuring intricate hand-engraved patterns that showcase traditional Moroccan artistry.
A: Yes, absolutely. Our tea sets are made from food-grade materials that are lead-free and non-toxic. Each piece has been rigorously tested to ensure it is free of toxic substances and heavy metals. The brass and silver-plated copper used in our teapots and trays meet all food-safety standards, and all solder points are lead-free and certified food-grade. You can brew and serve tea with complete confidence.
A: Yes! Our functional teapots are designed with a flat bottom that allows them to be placed directly on the stove during traditional tea preparation. They're heat-resistant and built to withstand the authentic brewing process. When shopping for tea sets, avoid decorative teapots with small ornate feet—those are for serving only and cannot handle direct heat. Our teapots are crafted for daily use and will last for decades.
A: Brass and silver-plated copper require gentle care to maintain their beautiful shine:
- Regular cleaning: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry immediately
- Remove tarnish naturally: Rub with half a lemon coated in salt, then buff with a soft cloth
- Deep cleaning: Make a paste with lemon juice and cream of tartar (1:2 ratio), apply for 30 minutes, rinse with warm water, and buff dry
- Avoid: Dishwashers and abrasive cleaners that can damage engravings
For complete care instructions, visit our guide on how to clean and polish brass and how to clean your teapot.
A: Quick brewing steps:
- Warm the teapot by swirling boiling water inside, then discard
- Wash the tea: Add 1-2 tablespoons gunpowder green tea, pour small amount of boiling water, swirl, and discard
- Brew: Fill teapot two-thirds with boiling water, add a large handful of fresh mint (slightly crushed) and 2-3 sugar cubes
- Steep: Let steep 3-5 minutes or place back on stove to near-boil
- Mix: Pour into a glass and back into the pot several times until sugar dissolves and foam forms (never stir!)
- Serve: Pour from a height to create the signature foam and aerate the tea
For the complete traditional recipe, visit our authentic Moroccan mint tea guide or learn about the complete Moroccan tea ceremony tradition.
A: The elevated pour is the signature of the tea ceremony and serves multiple purposes:
- Mixes the sugar evenly without stirring
- Cools the tea to the perfect drinking temperature
- Creates foam on top, which symbolizes purity and proper preparation
- Shows respect to the guest—the height of the pour demonstrates the host's skill and honor
This dramatic technique transforms tea service into a beautiful ritual of hospitality.
A: The three rounds of Moroccan tea represent life's journey:
- First glass (Bitter as life): Represents hardship and challenges
- Second glass (Strong as love): Symbolizes endurance and commitment
- Third glass (Sweet as death): Signifies peace, harmony, and fulfillment
Each pour becomes progressively sweeter and more mellow. Sharing all three rounds is a gesture of complete hospitality and strengthens bonds between host and guest.
A:
- Always accept the first glass—declining is considered impolite as it rejects the host's hospitality
- Receive the glass with your right hand (traditional custom)
- Sip slowly and engage in conversation between sips
- To politely decline more tea, say "Baraka" (blessing/enough) after finishing your glass
In Moroccan culture, sharing tea is about connection and taking time together, not about how much you drink.
A: Our traditional tea glasses are durable but require gentle handling:
- Hand wash with warm, soapy water (dishwashers can fade decorative patterns)
- Dry immediately to prevent water spots
- Handle carefully when filled with hot tea—hold by the rim between thumb and finger
- Store safely with padding between glasses to prevent chipping
The glasses are designed to showcase the beautiful amber color of the tea and its signature foam.
Both materials are authentic and traditional:
Brass tea sets:
- Rich golden color that develops character over time
- Excellent durability for daily use
- Easier to maintain and restore shine
- More affordable option
Silver-plated copper tea sets:
- Elegant silver finish with copper's superior heat conductivity
- Copper heats quickly and evenly for optimal brewing
- Premium aesthetic for special occasions
- Requires slightly more care to maintain silver plating
Both are food-safe, lead-free, and hand-engraved by master artisans. Choose based on your aesthetic preference and intended use frequency.
