Wow Toya! Where did you find this treasure?

Hi toya, blue enamel of this type is usually associated with fes or Meknes in the north.

"Would it be possible to get a close up or two of the enamel and front decor please? Sx"

Yes, I am posting two close up pictures for you to see.

It's a really great piece- a fantastic find, to be sure! We would love to to the San Mateo show some day. It's just that it's a two day drive to get there.....
