Antique Ottoman Persian Islamic Tinned Copper Ewer Finial Lid Washing Pitcher.The Ottoman Empire and throughout the Middle East ewers such as this were used for hand washing typically before meals and after journeys. Often the ewer would hold delicately-scented rosewater. The ewer is hand-hammered of copper that has been tinned all over. The ewer is of bulbous form, hand fabricated from heavy gauged hammered and heat welded sheets of copper. Its unique design is ancient, efficient, and still used in the modern era. This heavy ewer/pitcher is designed with a single dovetail pin hinge lid, swollen pear shape rounded body, slender curved spout, finial topped lid, is flared footed and extremely well built.
