Moroccan Terracotta Flat Candle/Serving Plate
Flat terracotta plate with handle detail, suitable for both serving food or we love this as a candle stand to catch those drips. Please note - It may not be possible to remove marks from candle wax from these plates - if using for candles any wax marks should be embraced :D
Rustic in finish - there may be natural imperfections and irregular markings to these pieces, due to the handmade nature. We think this adds to the charm.
Dimensions - 24.5cm at widest point x 4cm high approx.
We recommend hand-washing this item.
These pieces are traditionally made in Morocco from terracotta earthenware clay. As these pieces are unglazed, we recommend the following steps before using with oily foods: Soak the item in water for 24 hours to avoid cracking in the next step. Then coat the inner part of the pot with vegetable oil and bake it in the oven at a low temperature for about an hour. This will form a natural patina and make these pieces more resistant to food markings. Food is often served in this way in Morocco. Please note that these pots are safe to be used without doing with first, but doing this will help to protect your item.
