Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4637041 | Handmade: Yes |
| Provenance: Ownership History Not Available | Modified Item: No |
Here is an interesting find - this is a brass 'dallah', or Arabic coffee pot, likley from the middle east. It is heavily used and has some light damage, but is also likely quite old, and attests to it to its authenticity. There is obvious signs of heat and use on the lid, as well as as well as a piece off the rim, which just adds to its character. All brass with ornate decorations, this would make a wonderful decorative piece. It was only hand washed, and no attempt was made to polish ...or remove the patina.
