Vintage Middle Eastern Copper Ewer & Basin Set

Hand-Engraved Islamic Calligraphy & Arabesque Patterns

This copper ewer with matching basin is a magnificent example of Middle Eastern Islamic metal craftsmanship. Intricately hand-engraved with flowing calligraphy and complex arabesque motifs, it reflects the grandeur of traditional ceremonial and utilitarian ware.
