This set of six couscous bowls celebrates the rich North African and Mediterranean culinary heritage much loved in France.
Each bowl is decorated with a different couscous recipe illustration, featuring:

  • Cous Cous Algérien (Algerian)
  • Cous Cous Marocain (Moroccan)
  • Cous Cous Tunisien (Tunisian)

There are two bowls of each design, all in a cream tone with a soft speckled background. Made in Italy by Primula, these bowls were produced for the French market, as the recipes are written in French. The bases are stamped Primula – Made in Italy and 'decorata a mano' (decorated by hand).

Purchased from a traditional French brocante market, they are in good used condition with a few small nibbles as shown — typical of preloved tableware that has been both used and cherished.
