How It Is Made

Artisans in Marrakech begin with solid brass, hammering and shaping the circular form before applying silver or gold plating through traditional methods that have been used in the region for centuries. The geometric pattern is hand-engraved into the surface, a process that demands steady hands and years of experience to achieve consistent depth and alignment across the entire tray. The metalworking techniques used here have been refined through generations of craftsmen working in the city’s medina workshops. Master craftsman Kamal applies the same precision and attention to symmetry that defines heirloom-quality Moroccan metalwork. Each tray requires multiple days of labor, from the initial shaping and plating to the final polishing that produces the reflective, mirror-like surface.

Size & Use

Four diameters are available, ranging from 30cm to 45cm. The smaller sizes suit vanity organization, bedside displays, or individual tea service. The larger sizes accommodate fruit presentations, shared appetizers, or coffee table centerpieces. Dual handles allow secure transport between kitchen and table. The round shape and raised edge help contain items during movement, while the polished surface reflects ambient light and adds visual depth to any arrangement placed upon it.

Care & Maintenance

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Occasional polishing with a non-abrasive metal polish maintains the plated finish and prevents tarnishing. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scrubbing pads that could scratch the surface. For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to clean and polish brass.
