"The whole universe is found in a teapot," wrote Abdallah Zrika, but "more accurately the sinia (tray) represents the earth, the teapot the heavens, and the glasses rain: the heavens by way of the rain is joined to the earth." So it has been for generations, the silver-plated tray has been a symbol of gathering. Guests, friends and family crowd around the sinia to share in a pot of mint tea, tasty sweets, and lengthy conversation. Adorned with intricate designs, and a range of geometric shapes —all of which have their own stories of meaning—these trays are used for carrying drink, food, and the weight of the whole universe.
