The Art of Elevated Entertaining
This silver tea set hand hammered service transforms everyday hospitality into an elegant ritual. Handcrafted by master metalworkers in Marrakech’s historic artisan quarter, this three-bowl collection features deep relief floral engraving across every surface, from the ornately turned finials to the scalloped tray border. The graduated bowl sizes create visual harmony while offering practical versatility—present three types of sugar for tea service, arrange nuts and dried fruits for entertaining, or display spices for traditional Moroccan cuisine. Each covered bowl keeps contents fresh and protected, while the mirror-polished silver finish catches light beautifully whether actively serving guests or displayed as decorative art between uses.
Five Days of Master Metalwork and Hand-Engraving
Created in Kamal’s traditional workshop using time-honored techniques passed through three generations, each silver serving tray set represents approximately five days of dedicated craftsmanship. The process begins with solid brass sheets, carefully hammered into bowl forms and the circular tray base. After precise silver plating application, Kamal’s team hand-engraves the elaborate floral patterns—flowing botanical vines, intricate arabesque scrollwork, and decorative medallions that cover every visible surface. The ornate finials are precision-turned on traditional lathes, creating the stacked spherical and ribbed elements that crown each lid. “The challenge with covered bowl sets is achieving perfect lid fit while maintaining continuous pattern flow,” Kamal explains. “Each lid must align so the engraving appears seamless when closed, creating the illusion of a single unified design.” The hammered texture on the tray adds depth and authenticity, while multi-stage polishing creates the brilliant mirror finish that defines premium silver work. Discover the traditional repousse and chasing techniques that create these three-dimensional patterns, and meet Kamal, the master artisan behind this exceptional metalwork.
More Than Service Ware: A Cultural Centerpiece
This hand-engraved tea service brings both practical function and cultural significance to your home. The three graduated bowls offer endless serving possibilities—white sugar, brown sugar, and honey for traditional tea ceremonies; mixed nuts, dates, and candies for Moroccan hospitality; or cumin, cinnamon, and cardamom for spice service. The covered lids maintain freshness while creating elegant presentation, and the ornate serving tray keeps everything beautifully organized as a stunning centerpiece. By choosing this artisan-crafted collection, you’re supporting fair trade practices that provide economic stability for 14 families in Kamal’s metalworking collective, where craftspeople earn 3-4 times Morocco’s minimum wage while preserving centuries-old engraving traditions.

Complete Your Moroccan Tea Experience
Pair this silver service set with our complete tea ceremony collections for an authentic entertaining experience. Learn proper care techniques to maintain the mirror-polished finish and preserve the intricate engraving for generations.
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.
