Ceramic Moroccan Tagine

This stunning Moroccan ceramic tagine is so beautiful that it is far too precious to be used in a practical way, but makes a stylish and truly eye-caching decoration. The tagine has been skilfully created by Moroccan craftsmen who have decorated it using a traditional design that is accentuated by the clever addition of tiny inlays of leather, camel bone and coloured stones to create a stunning addition to your home. The tagine is the traditional Maghrebi casserole dish that has been used in Morocco for centuries and continues to be popular today – particularly in rural; areas. The tagine is made from clay and used to slow cook delicious casseroles of chicken, lamb or fish with vegetables and spices. Distinctly shaped with a shallow circular dish that is topped by a conically shaped lid, plain tagines are used for cooking, whilst the brightly decorated versions are used for serving the meal.
