Hello,
I found this Ewer at an Estate Sale. I have been trying to identify the age and origin for a week now with no avail. It's driving me nuts - not being able to find anything on this.
There aren't any hallmarks of any kind to be found. I have attached some pictures below to let them speak for me.
I really hope somebody here can help me figure this out.
How can I date this? Tell the difference from a reproduction?
Identify the place of origin? Value? Decipher the inscription along the side?
Tell what materials it is made out of?
I've been able to find similar Ewer's online described as Tombak writing, or ottoman empire era styling and looks like handmade copper / tin -- but that's as far as I could get.
If I missed any important info please let me know - as I am clueless in this area.
Really looking forward to hearing from you all!
