Brass Tea Set 9-Piece with Sugar Bowl & Hand-Engraved Aqua Glasses

This brass tea set 9-piece with sugar bowl is the most complete brass service in the collection — nine pieces, not eight, because in Moroccan tea culture sugar is never optional. The set includes a hand-engraved teapot with a decorative tassel, a domed engraved sugar bowl, six mouth-blown aqua beldi glasses with hand-applied brass gold bands, and an ornate matching tray. All brass components carry matching geometric and arabesque naqsh engraving, creating a visually consistent service for six. Includes 100 g Moroccan tea leaves.

What Makes This Set Complete

The ninth piece — a domed engraved sugar bowl with matching finial — acknowledges the role of sugar in the Moroccan atay ritual. The qaleb sukkar, the traditional sugar cone, has its own vessel, and this set ensures nothing is missing from the ceremony. The teapot holds about 650 to 700 ml, enough for multiple pours among six guests, and includes a decorative tassel at the handle.

Natural Brass, Not Plated

The teapot, sugar bowl, and tray are brass with its natural gold tone — no plating, no coating. This means the warm metallic finish develops a gentle patina over time, which many owners appreciate as a sign of character. The six beldi glasses are mouth-blown, and their natural aqua tint comes from the mineral content of the glass itself, not from applied paint. The gold bands around each glass rim are brass, applied by hand.

The Hands Behind the Set

The hand-engraved naqsh patterns on the teapot, sugar bowl, and tray are the work of Kamal, our Marrakech metalwork artisan, who cuts geometric interlace and arabesque floral motifs directly into the brass surface using traditional hand tools. The six aqua glasses are mouth-blown by Younes, our Marrakech glassblower, using techniques passed through generations in the Marrakech medina. Every piece in this set is food contact safe and lead-free.

Care and Styling

Hand wash only — both the brass components and the glasses. To keep the brass gleaming, follow our guide to caring for your Moroccan teapot. The overall set dimensions are 7.9 x 5.1 x 13.8 in (20 x 13 x 35 cm), with a tray diameter of 35 cm. On a sideboard or dining table, the natural brass gold tone pairs well with linen runners, wooden surfaces, and warm lantern light. The set weighs 2.0 kg (approximately 4.4 lb) packed.

Product Questions

What makes this a 9-piece tea set?

The ninth piece is the matching domed sugar bowl. In Moroccan tea service, sugar is presented as part of the ritual, so this set feels more ceremonial than a standard teapot, six-glass, and tray service.

Is the gold tone plated?

No. The teapot, sugar bowl, and tray are natural brass with their own warm gold tone. The finish is not gold plating and will develop a gentle brass patina over time.

Are the gold bands on the glasses real gold?

No. The bands on the aqua beldi glasses are brass, applied by hand to the mouth-blown glass. The aqua glass colour comes from the glass itself, not from surface paint or coating.

How much tea does the teapot hold?

The teapot holds about 650 to 700 ml, enough for a full six-glass Moroccan tea service.
