For sale is this stunning is this simply breathtaking copper ewer / pot. This absolutly stunning museum quality ewer dates from late 19th century probably circa 1890’s or maybe very early 1900’s. This Islamic item is has been hand chased with the highest quality work consisting of floral and geometric patterns – typical of Islamic artwork. The ewer has been cleaned up into its current condition. It has its original lid which is fully functioning and working properly. It has a handle which is made from Brass. I had originally thought the handle is made from brass because it was probably replaced at a later date – however I have been told it is probably the original handle but made from brass because copper conducts heat very well – more so than brass, so brass was used as it would get less hot. However I cannot fully confirm this, please make up your own mind about this matter.
It is overall an absolutly breathtaking item of the highest standards. The work done on the body of the ewer is unbelievable and you have to see it to appreciate it. The photos do no justice at all.
