Each tray is hand-painted with vibrant motifs inspired by Palestinian heritage, blending function, beauty, and authenticity in one timeless piece.

Available in Canada and the USA through Watany Palestinian Products, this ceramic makloba tray transforms your table into a celebration of heritage, unity, and art. Whether you’re serving family or guests, this tray adds cultural depth and elegance to every meal.

What is Makloba?

Makloba, which literally means “upside down,” is one of Palestine’s most iconic dishes — a layered rice, vegetable, and meat meal that is flipped onto a serving tray before being shared among family and friends. The moment of flipping the pot reveals a fragrant, colorful masterpiece — a symbol of togetherness and pride. This Palestinian makloba tray is designed precisely for that special moment, offering the strength and artistry needed to present this dish beautifully.

Authentic Palestinian Craftsmanship

Each handmade makloba tray is crafted by skilled Palestinian artisans who carry on centuries-old ceramic traditions. Using fine clay and natural pigments, every piece is hand-shaped, glazed, and painted with traditional motifs that represent Palestinian culture — olive branches, geometric patterns, and floral borders. The glazing process gives the tray a glossy finish that enhances its durability while highlighting the hand-painted details.

No two trays are exactly alike, making each piece a one-of-a-kind reflection of the artisan’s skill and creativity. When you serve with this tray, you’re not just serving food — you’re serving history, heritage, and heart.

Designed for Function and Beauty

This ceramic makloba tray is both practical and elegant. The high-fired ceramic body provides durability, while the slightly raised edges ensure easy and safe serving. The hand-painted design makes it ideal not only for Makloba but also for presenting other Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes such as Maqlouba rice, mansaf, grape leaves, and roasted vegetables. It’s a versatile piece that transitions seamlessly from the kitchen to the dining table, serving as both a functional platter and a cultural showpiece.

When not in use, this tray also makes a stunning decorative element for your kitchen or dining area, showcasing your appreciation for authentic handmade art.

The Perfect Gift for Cultural Celebrations
