Ewer - Copper, Brass - Bowl, pouring jug, Ibrik

1: Oriental Pouring Jug

A beautiful and richly decorated Oriental pouring jug (Ibrik / Dallah), artisanal crafted in the mid-20th century (ca. 1950-1970). This jug combines traditional craftsmanship with a timeless decorative design and reflects the classic Ottoman and Middle Eastern style.

The body and slender neck of the jug are made of red copper, featuring refined, hand-engraved floral and geometric motifs. The gracefully curled handle and the long, elegant spout are cast from contrasting yellow copper (brass), creating a luxurious two-tone effect.
The bottom shows an authentic, hand-soldered base plate with visible hammer marks, underscoring the handmade character of this object. The jug is equipped with a well-functioning, hinged cupped lid with a decorative top knob.

Material: Red copper (copper) and Yellow copper (brass)
Production method: Handmade, hand-hammered and hand-engraved

Condition: In reasonable to good vintage condition with a lovely natural patina that suits the age of the object. The lid hinge functions properly.

Important note on condition: At the underside of the brass handle the solder joint with the copper body has come apart (see photos). The handle is still securely attached at the upper part, so the jug is perfectly functional for decorative purposes, but for heavy use or restoration this connection would need to be re-soldered. The jug also shows light, characteristic signs of aging and minimal superficial discolorations.
