MOROCCAN TEAPOT , BRAD MAGHRIBI

traditional Moroccan teapot, commonly used to prepare and serve moroccan mint tea —a cultural symbol of hospitality, warmth, and social connection.

Material: It's made of metal, typically silver-plated  brass or stainless steel . This shiny finish is not just decorative—it also helps retain heat.

Shape: The bulbous body and curved spout are designed to pour tea from a height, which is a signature Moroccan technique to create foam (“k’ssir”) and cool the tea slightly.

Lid & Finial: The decorative lid with a pointed finial reflects Moorish or Islamic art influence, aligning with North African design traditions

Tea Ceremony:

In Morocco, serving tea (usually green tea with fresh mint, and sometimes with sugar or herbs like absinthe or verbena) is a ritual.

The host often serves three rounds of tea, each with a slightly different taste—this is part of Moroccan proverb:

“The first glass is as gentle as life, the second is as strong as love, the third is as bitter as death.”
