Round couscous plate. This old dish with a medium rim was used to prepare Moroccan couscous. Berber women traditionally hand-rolled the semolina in large wood or clay dishes.

Its original patina and harmonious curves make it a statement piece.

This weathered wooden plate bears traces of use and historical repairs that testify to its authenticity. They made it a one-of-a-kind object. Berber people maintained these utilitarian dishes with great care; they valued them. They were regularly repaired to extend their lives. On this one, you can see the repair made with a large copper plate nailed.

Use it as a large tray to display decorative items or as a fruit container. You can also use it as a serving dish and bring singularity and warmth to your table. It will suit an ethnic environment or provide uniqueness and authenticity to a modern interior.

Why I love it:

I am a great fan of these antique and ethnic ornaments that bring character to home decor.

Dimensions: about 20 in/50cm diameter

This Moroccan plate is handmade and vintage. It boasts the natural age and historical reparations. A Wabi-Sabi item.
