Description:
This is a traditional metal vessel in the style of a dallah teapot or coffee pot, originating from the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting influences from Syrian, Turkish, and Moroccan craftsmanship. It is typically made of brass or bronze using hand-hammering techniques (repoussé), visible in the vertically fluted decorative body that highlights skilled artisanal work. The piece features an ornate neck, a hinged lid, and a gracefully curved S-shaped spout designed for smooth and controlled pouring. It reflects long-standing hospitality traditions associated with serving tea or coffee in Arab culture. Based on its design details and craftsmanship style, it likely dates from the late 19th to mid-20th century, making it a decorative and historically significant heritage piece.
