AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique, handmade copper aftaba, probably from Central Asia, possibly from the Bukhara region. Likely late 19th to early 20th century.

The piece is in unrestored, age-related condition. Clear signs of use and aging, strong patina, oxidation and discoloration as well as superficial scratches and wear are present.

On the body and especially in the area of the lid, age-related deformations are visible; the lid therefore does not sit perfectly evenly. The hinges as well as the long spout and the handle are present.

On the surface, remnants of the original decoration or coating are still visible. I am not aware of any restoration or subsequent alteration.

The aftaba has not been cleaned or polished in order to preserve the historic patina.

Dimensions: height approx. 40 cm, base diameter approx. 16 cm, opening approx. 6.5 cm.
Weight: approx. 700 g.
