Add a touch of exotic charm to your home decor with this beautiful round pottery plate from Morocco. Handcrafted, thrown, hand-painted, and fired by skilled artisans from Colline des Potiers in Safi, this vintage plate features a colorful fish pattern and a sturdy metal rim. Measuring 8 1/4 inches in diameter and 1.77-2.0 inches in height, this unique plate is perfect for serving appetizers or as a decorative wall display.

The Byzantine style and the art red clay pottery production technique used to create this plate make it a one-of-a-kind addition to any collection. Moroccan red clay is quarried from the Safi region and much of it is processed, thrown and fired. Most potters still use traditional wood firing kilns. Typical Moroccan pottery includes plates, bowls, dishes, vases and the tangine. The designs used on Moroccan pottery are influenced by Berber and Islamic art, which was previously influenced by Phoenician, Roman and Byzantine designs. This piece is rarer than most as it features a beautiful scroll metal rim.
