Silver Teapot Hand-Engraved Footed – Extra-Large Only, 1.3L / 12 Servings

A single-size decision. Where most teapots in this collection offer two or five capacity options, the silver teapot 1.5L engraved comes in one — Extra Large, 1.3L, twelve servings. If your table regularly seats ten or twelve, or if you want the most substantial teapot in the engraved footed range, this is it. At 1.3kg it is the heaviest teapot in the collection, and it pours from a footed base with geometric hand-engraved patterns across the body.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fixed 1.3L / 12-Serving Capacity: No size selection needed — this is a single-size product optimised for large group service. The 1.3L volume means one fill serves twelve standard Moroccan tea glasses without refilling mid-ceremony.
• Most Substantial Teapot in the Range: At 1.3kg, this is the heaviest silver teapot in the collection. The physical weight gives the pour a different character — slower, more deliberate, with a presence on the tray that lighter teapots do not have.
• Geometric Hand-Engraved Patterns: Interlocking diamond and cross forms typical of Moroccan metalwork, cut directly into the silver-plated surface by hand rather than stamped or embossed.
• Footed Base: Four feet lift the body off the tray, protecting the surface from heat and giving the teapot the elevated ceremonial posture associated with formal atay service.
• Domed Lid with Decorative Finial: The lid follows a broad dome form rising to an ornate tiered finial — proportioned for the larger body volume and consistent with the geometric engraving style.

The Artisan Story

Kamal and his team in Marrakech’s medina produce this teapot using the same techniques applied across the silver range: brass raised by hand into shape, multiple layers of silver plating applied and polished, geometric patterns cut with a steel chisel after plating is complete. At 1.3L, the body is larger to work — more metal to shape, more surface area to engrave, and more plating layers required to achieve consistent mirror finish across the greater surface.

Your Questions Answered

Q: Why is this teapot only available in one size?
A: The 1.3L / 12-serving capacity was designed as the definitive large-format version of the geometric engraved footed teapot. Offering smaller sizes would create overlap with other models in the collection — this teapot occupies the top of the range, suited to formal occasions, large gatherings, or buyers who want the most substantial version available.

Q: Is 1.3kg heavy to pour from?
A: It is heavier than the smaller teapots in the collection — that is deliberate. The weight distributes the pour differently, slowing and steadying the flow. With practice (and using both hands for the first few pours), the weight becomes an asset. The high-pour technique of Moroccan atay service works well with a heavier teapot.

Q: Can this teapot go on the stovetop?
A: No. Silver-plated brass is not designed for direct heat. Brew your tea separately and transfer to the teapot for the table service.
