Marrakesh Blue Ceramic Couscous Platter

Our buyer found this elegant platter when traveling in Morocco. A staple accompaniment to classic dishes like tagine, couscous can be found on most Moroccan tables. This platter—made entirely by hand in Safi, Morocco, a port city famous for its centuries-old ceramics industry—is perfect for couscous, other pastas, rice and grains. The wide dish holds enough to feed a crowd, and the gently sloping sides keep couscous from spilling as you serve. Each ceramic platter shows off an elegant Moroccan motif in a versatile combination of white and dark blue with colorful accents. As each piece is made by hand, some variation is expected from dish to dish and adds to its beauty.
