Hand-Embossed Silver Tea Container Set — 4-Piece Footed Bowls & Tray

This hand-embossed silver tea container set brings four hand-crafted pieces to the Moroccan tea table — three covered footed bowls and one ornate round tray, each pressed with raised geometric and arabesque patterns in silver-plated brass. The bowls hold the three essentials of the Moroccan tea table: sugar cubes, fresh mint, and loose tea leaves, while the tray unites them as a single presentation arrangement.

Footed Bowl Design

Each of the three covered bowls sits on three small feet, raising it above the tray surface and giving the four-piece arrangement a layered, architectural presence. The bowls come in graduated sizes — large, medium, and small — so each has its own visual weight on the tray. Domed lids with finial tops keep contents covered between uses.

Hand-Embossed Craftsmanship

Geometric and arabesque patterns are pressed upward through the silver-plated brass surface of each bowl and the tray using a repoussé technique that creates tactile raised designs rather than incised lines. The tray’s rim carries a rope-twist border, and the dome lids show radial embossed lines radiating from each finial. These pieces are made in a Marrakech workshop by Kamal, master of silver-plated crafts, whose hand-embossing work on brass has supplied Moroccan tea tables for years.

What’s in the Set

• Three covered footed bowls in graduated sizes: large, medium, and small
• One ornate round tray with raised rim and rope-twist border (35 cm diameter)
• Includes 100 g Moroccan tea leaves

The largest bowl measures approximately 4.7 x 4.7 x 3.9 in (12 x 12 x 10 cm), with the medium and small bowls scaled proportionally. The tray spans 35 cm in diameter — enough surface to hold all three bowls with room for sugar tongs or other accessories alongside.

Material and Food Safety

All four pieces are silver-plated brass — not solid silver — and are food contact safe, lead-free, and non-toxic, suitable for holding sugar, mint leaves, and dried tea. The silver-plated finish develops a soft patina over time, which many owners appreciate as a mark of character.

Care and Styling

To keep the silver-plated surface bright, wipe with a soft dry cloth after each use and avoid abrasive cleaners. For detailed maintenance guidance, see our article on how to care for your silver-plated brass pieces. The set works equally well on a Moroccan tea table, a formal dining centrepiece, or a sideboard display — the footed bowls add height and the tray contains the arrangement neatly.

The Moroccan Tea Ritual

In Moroccan homes, the tea table is the centre of hospitality — where sugar, mint, and tea leaves are arranged close at hand for the tea ritual. This accessory set holds those three essentials, letting you stage the accompaniments with the same care as the tea itself. Learn more in our complete Moroccan tea ceremony guide.
