Vintage Middle Eastern Engraved Brass Teapot Or Coffee Pot Dallah Style

Description

This is a decorative brass vessel, likely a teapot, kettle, or a traditional Middle Eastern coffee pot known as a dallah or similar serving vessel, used for tea or Arabic coffee.

Material: Brass, with a vintage patina that shows signs of age and use.

Form: It has a rounded, squat body, a curved spout, a high curved handle, and a tiered, removable lid with a finial top. The overall shape is classic of Middle Eastern tea/coffee serving ware.

Decoration: The body of the pot is extensively decorated with deep, hand-engraved or hammered motifs. The pattern appears to be a repeating botanical design, likely featuring stylized leaves and flowers that cover the entire surface.

Condition: The brass shows signs of tarnishing, patina, and potential verdigris, which is typical for old or vintage brassware. The engraving remains crisp and visible beneath the patina.

Use: Primarily a decorative item or a collector’s piece, although it may have been used for serving in the past.
