A striking antique 19th-century Ottoman Turkish tinned-copper ewer, or ibrik, distinguished by its elegant architectural silhouette, elongated pouring spout and beautifully aged surface. Entirely handcrafted, the vessel features a rounded, vertically fluted body resting upon a circular foot. The body rises into a tall tapering neck articulated with molded bands and terminates in a hinged domed lid with a pointed finial. A dramatically elongated, slender curved spout extends upward from the body, balanced on the opposite side by a graceful looping metal handle. The surface retains substantial remnants of its original tin wash, now naturally worn through in areas to reveal the warmer copper beneath. This contrast between silvery tinning, exposed copper, oxidation and darkened patina gives the vessel considerable visual depth and is characteristic of antique utilitarian copperware that has survived generations of use. The body incorporates decorative panels and restrained engraved ornamentation, while the fluting, shaped neck and pronounced lid give the ewer a particularly sculptural quality. Its construction and proportions relate closely to Ottoman metalworking traditions found throughout Anatolia during the 19th century. Comparable surviving examples employ hand-hammered tinned copper, bulbous bodies, curved spouts, serpentine handles and hinged domed lids. Historically, vessels of this general type were made for the storage and pouring of water and other liquids. Today, its tall 16-inch height and exceptionally long spout make this example particularly effective as a decorative object. It would display beautifully on a console, pedestal, library shelf or alongside a collection of Islamic and Ottoman metalwork. The piece is preserved in original antique condition, with wear, oxidation, discoloration, irregularities and losses to the tinning consistent with its age and traditional handcrafted construction. These surface variations contribute to its authentic antique character and should not be mistaken for a modern polished finish. Dimensions: 16 in. H × 11 in. W × 6 in. D. Origin: Turkey / Ottoman Empire Period: 19th Century Date: circa 1850–1880 Materials: Tinned copper, copper, metal Techniques: Hand-hammered, hand-crafted, engraved, tinned Style: Ottoman / Islamic Condition: Good antique condition; wear consistent with age and use, oxidation, surface variation and losses to the original tinning.

A quite wonderful and evocative signed antique Tsuba - Japanese sword hand guard often circular, sometimes square, which emerged as an essential part of Japanese sword craftsmanship during the Heian period (794–1185). Initially crafted from iron or bronze, over time they became more decorative in nature and more for show as the waring Samurai clans disbanded and became part of Japan's past. The particular Tsuba features a Oni Demon design. Oni are fearsome, ogre-like demons or trolls from Japanese folklore, known for their monstrous appearance, immense strength, and cruel nature but conversely and somewhat contradictorily they can also symbolize good fortune, representing the duality of evil and protection in Japanese culture and sometimes serve as guardians against evil. The piece is likely from the late Edo Period (1603-1868) or early Meiji Period (1868-1912). It is signed on the verso/backside. This Tsuba has a great feel and heft to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...
