Five Days of Master Metalwork Artistry
Each silver serving tray requires five days of skilled craftsmanship by master metalworkers in Marrakech. Using traditional Moroccan metalwork techniques passed down through generations, artisans hand-emboss the elaborate borders featuring beaded edging, foliate scrollwork, and botanical motifs. The brass base undergoes precise silver-plating before expert buffing creates the signature mirror finish. Artisan Kamal and his workshop specialize in this intricate repoussé work, where each floral garland and vine pattern is carefully raised to create dimensional artwork that catches light beautifully.

A: The Siniya is the traditional Moroccan serving tray that serves as the foundation of the tea ceremony. It's a stable, beautifully engraved platform that carries the entire tea service—the berrad (teapot), tea glasses, sugar bowl, and mint. The broad, robust design stabilizes delicate glasses and collects any drips from the ritualistic high-pour. Beyond tea service, the Siniya is used for serving meals, organizing décor items, and as a stunning decorative centerpiece.
A: Our authentic serving trays are crafted from brass, copper, or nickel alloys, often with silver-plating or gold-plating for an elegant finish.
- Brass is prized for its golden aesthetic and excellent workability, allowing artisans to create intricate hand-engraved patterns
- Copper offers a warm, rich color and superior heat properties
- Nickel provides durability and a silvery finish resistant to oxidation
Each tray is hand-hammered and hand-engraved by skilled Moroccan artisans, making every piece unique.
A: Our trays are food-safe when used appropriately. They are best suited for serving dry items, packaged foods, or as a base for dishes and glasses during tea service.
Important note: Unlined brass and copper are reactive metals that can interact with acidic foods (citrus, vinegar, tomatoes). For direct food contact with acidic items, the tray would need a food-safe lining. Our trays are ideal for their traditional purpose—serving tea sets, displaying food in dishes, and organizing tableware—which is how they've been used authentically for centuries.

Authentic hand-engraved trays show several distinctive characteristics:
- Slight irregularities: Hand engraving creates organic, non-uniform patterns—no two areas are perfectly identical
- Dense, intricate details: Complex geometric patterns with varying depths showcase the artisan's skill
- Tool marks: You may notice subtle variations in line width and pressure
- Unique character: Each tray has its own personality from the craftsperson's hand
Machine-made copies prioritize uniformity with perfectly replicated patterns. The "imperfections" of hand engraving are actually marks of authenticity and value.
A: Siniya come in various sizes to suit different needs:
- Small (8-12 inches / 20-30 cm): Perfect for organizing jewelry, vanity items, or serving tea for two
- Medium (12-16 inches / 30-40 cm): Ideal for serving tea sets and decorating coffee tables
- Large (16-20 inches / 40-50 cm): Great for entertaining multiple guests or as statement décor pieces
- Extra-Large (20-23 inches / 50-58 cm): Traditional ceremonial size for large gatherings
Common shapes include round (most traditional), rectangular, and octagonal designs.
A: Proper care preserves the beauty of your hand-engraved tray:
Regular cleaning:
- Wipe with soft, damp cloth and dry immediately
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can damage intricate engravings
Remove tarnish naturally:
- Flour-Salt-Vinegar paste: Mix equal parts, apply for 1 hour, gently scrub, rinse, and dry
- Lemon and baking soda: Mix equal parts into paste, apply for 10 minutes, rinse and dry
- Lemon and salt: Rub half a lemon dipped in salt over surface, then buff

A: The intricate patterns are a visual language rooted in Moroccan culture and spiritual beliefs:
- Circles: Symbolize eternity, unity, and the divine
- Stars and polygons: Represent balance, harmony, and interconnectedness
- Diamond shapes: Ancient symbols of protection and fertility
- Interlocking patterns: Reflect the interconnectedness of life and community
The complexity and density of these patterns often indicate the prestige and value of the piece. Each design tells a story of Moroccan heritage and artisan mastery.
A: Yes! Many of our serving trays are designed to pair with folding wooden stands (often made from cedarwood) that transform the tray into a portable coffee or tea table. This traditional combination offers:
- Space-saving design: Folds away when not in use
- Versatility: Use the tray independently for serving or with the stand as a table
- Authentic style: Reflects how Moroccan homes have adapted traditional pieces for modern living
- Portability: Easy to move from room to room or outdoors
The stand elevates your tray to perfect table height while maintaining its functionality as a removable serving piece.

- Medium trays (12-16 inches): $83-$110
