Deep Fluted Silver Teapot – Scroll Cabriole Feet, Pierced Arabesque

This deep fluted silver teapot brings together two of the most sculptural elements in traditional Moroccan metalwork: deep vertical fluting that runs the full height of the body and four ornate scroll cabriole feet with pierced arabesque detail. Twelve to fourteen wide flutes create melon-shaped panels across the surface, catching light in alternating bands of highlight and shadow at every angle. The domed lid is crowned with an acorn-shaped finial that sets this piece apart from the ball and star finials on other teapots in the collection.

Deep Vertical Fluting

Unlike close-spaced patterning, the flutes on this teapot are broad and deep, running from the shoulder to the base without interruption. The wide panels create strong light-and-shadow contrast that shifts as you move around the piece. Whether displayed on a tray or poured at the table, the fluted body gives the teapot a sculptural, architectural presence.

Scroll Cabriole Feet with Pierced Arabesque

Each of the four feet is a fully formed scroll with pierced arabesque cutwork, cast separately and soldered to the body. The cabriole feet lift the teapot high off the tray, giving it a pedestal-like stance. This is the most elaborate foot design in the collection, and the pierced detail means light passes through the scrollwork from certain angles.

Material & Construction

The teapot is handmade from silver-plated brass with a silver-plated interior, confirmed food contact safe and lead-free. It weighs approximately 1 kg (2.2 lb), giving it a substantial, balanced feel in the hand. The curved spout, curved handle, and domed lid follow traditional Moroccan teapot proportions, and the polished silver surface picks up warm reflected tones when placed near tea glasses and a brass tray.

Handmade in Marrakech

Each teapot is handcrafted in the Marrakech workshop of Kamal, a silver-plated brass metalwork artisan whose teapots, trays, and serving pieces follow traditional hand-forming and finishing techniques. The deep fluting is worked by hand into the brass body before silver plating, and the scroll feet are cast and soldered individually — a process that requires careful alignment so the teapot sits level on a flat tray.

Serving & Styling

Available in two sizes: Large (850 ml, approximately 8 servings) and Extra Large (1.3L, approximately 12 servings), making it suitable for everyday tea as well as larger gatherings. For those who follow the Moroccan mint tea tradition, the complete guide to the Moroccan tea ceremony walks through the pouring, seating, and hospitality customs that give the teapot its cultural context. The deep fluting and ornate cabriole feet also make this a striking display piece on a sideboard or shelf — a fitting housewarming gift for someone who appreciates fluted antique-style metalwork.

Care

Wash gently by hand with warm water and a soft cloth, then dry promptly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not use a dishwasher. For full guidance on maintaining the silver-plated finish, see the teapot care guide.

Product Questions

Is the fluted pattern hand-engraved or hand-embossed?

The deep vertical fluting is hand-embossed, meaning the metal was raised from the inside to create the ribbed panels. This is different from hand engraving, which cuts into the surface. The pierced arabesque on the feet is hand-cut.

What sizes are available?

Large 850ml (8 servings) and Extra Large 1.3L (12 servings). Choose the Large for everyday hosting or the Extra Large for bigger gatherings.
