Item Description
This late 19th-century Moroccan pottery charger from Safi features a central heraldic shield, richly decorated with intricate abstract patterns and surrounded by star motifs. It is painted in a vibrant combination of blue, teal, and yellow set against an off-white background. The wide lip is adorned with an elaborate frieze of scrolls, beads, and flowing shapes, showcasing the refined artistry of Moroccan ceramics, while a scalloped edge lends an graceful silhouette. The charger rests on an finely crafted base with two holes for wall display.
