Decorated plate with red flowers

A plate with a wide rim, decorated with stylised red flowers on a cream ground.

Moroccan ceramics fall into two great traditions: Fez, with its tightly ordered blue and polychrome decoration, and Safi, freer, with greens and browns drawn from local oxides. Antique pieces often carry firing irregularities no longer found in today's production.

Antique piece sold as seen. A small chip or a firing ring is not a fault but a trace of use and of making.
