Dish of couscous
Arriving in Algeria in the Middle Ages and experiencing great growth from the 17th century, brassware developed in all major cities. Each city stood out with its own style and manufacturing and decoration techniques. In engraved or embossed copper, the objects produced can have decorative or utilitarian functions such as the couscous dish or the butter pot. Today, some coppersmiths perpetuate a tradition where shapes and colors harmonize, offering works closer to art than craftsmanship. Couscous dish It is a dish with a tinned red copper lid. It is decorated with diamonds executed using the embossing technique. On its edges we find a floral decoration which represents scrollwork. The same decoration is repeated on the lid giving this couscous dish a very beautiful harmony. Dated from the 18th century and signed, this dish originates from Algiers which was, at that time, the main manufacturing center of the country. As an integral part of Algerian culinary traditions, couscous, a renowned national dish, was traditionally served in this dish, thus honoring the guests.
