Middle Eastern style champleve enamel gilt rice serving set with spice holders
This was a gift purchased at an antique store number of years ago. I believe it might be middle eastern, possibly Turkish, or maybe Moroccan design. The set is ceramic and the bowl is fairly heavy with no markings on the bottom. I don’t believe it’s Cloisonne although the gold paint gives that impression at first. When the top of the rice bowl is removed, it acts as a tray for the 4 spice holders. The 5th container may be for chop sticks or some other use. All the pieces are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Top of rice bowl is 10” across; bowl with top is 4” high.
