Decorative Trays

HANDMADE IN MOROCCO Display your trinkets on this stylish tray. Perfect for coffee tables, nightstands, bathroom counters, and dresser tops alike. This collection is ethically hand-molded with earthenware, a lightweight ceramic that is fired in small batches at a lower temperature. Unlike most mass-produced ceramics, it is lighter, more delicate, and not able to withstand high temperatures. Each purchase empowers artisans in Morocco who carefully mold and paint each piece by hand. They earn fair wages and preserve a generations-old technique.
