This medium glazed küp was likely used to store cheese by generations of families in the Levant. The design is similar to jugs used to carry water, wine, or other liquids (as cheese is traditionally stored in its brine). Glazing, a traditional technique on pottery wheels in Konya and Isparta, is as functional as it is beautiful. The glaze provides a protective and hygienic layer, making these objects optimal vessels for storing food staples and preserving delicacies. Cheese is a staple in most Turkish breakfasts today, with a fascinating history springing from the Fertile Crescent: the region of Southwest Asia that includes portions of present-day Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Around 8000 BCE, the first humans to keep livestock began firing pottery that could store dairy products in the warm climate. In this process, they discovered that they could use ceramic strainers...

This medium glazed and limewashed küp was likely used to store cheese by generations of families in the Levant. The design is similar to jugs used to carry water, wine, or other liquids (as cheese is traditionally stored in its brine).

This exquisite sculpture masterfully captures the essence of rural life, featuring an elderly peasant standing proudly, reins held firmly in his hands. Behind him, nestled in a beautifully crafted sleigh, are his son and grandson, with the latter energetically guiding the horses using a whip. Each figure is adorned in traditional peasant attire, which not only adds authenticity but also reflects their connection to the land and their heritage. Their faces are wonderfully expressive, conveying a sense of pride, determination, and the bond of family. The craftsmanship of this outstanding silver sculpture, along with its original marble base, showcases an extraordinary level of artistry. The intricate details are so skillfully rendered that one can almost visualize the steam rising from the horses' nostrils in the crisp, frosty air. The air seems to vibrate with the sound of the horses’ hooves crunching through the fresh snow, creating a vivid auditory backdrop to the scene. As the troika gallops at full speed, it leaves behind distinct impressions of horseshoes on the pristine snow, marking their journey through the wintry landscape. This dynamic movement not only brings the sculpture to life but also invites viewers to imagine the story behind this moment—an intimate glimpse into the daily life and enduring spirit of a hardworking family united by tradition and the rhythms of nature. Notes: There are intact little bell on the yoke of a central horse, and an original detachable hallmarked whip. The original, intricately executed marble base is an integral part of the whole composition. The sculpture was never cleaned or polished, and has an original patina. Markings: Fully hallmarked with maker's marks IS (for Ignaty Sazikov...

This exceptional antique Middle Eastern copper ewer is a striking example of traditional metalwork, richly adorned with intricate hand-engraved Arabic calligraphy and finely detailed ornamental motifs. Crafted from solid copper, the vessel features a beautifully balanced silhouette with a rounded, bulbous lower body, a gently tapered neck, and a wide flared rim. The elegant, elongated handle is securely riveted at the shoulder and upper rim, demonstrating both functional design and skilled craftsmanship. The surface is extensively decorated with engraved script and stylized foliate and geometric patterns, executed entirely by hand. The calligraphic bands encircle the upper register, while the body showcases layered decorative scenes and textural detailing that reflect the artistic traditions of Islamic metalwork. The depth and precision of the engravings highlight the artisan’s mastery and lend the piece remarkable visual dimension. Over time, the copper has developed a deep, naturally aged patina with areas of oxidation, tonal variation, and surface wear consistent with age and use. These characteristics enhance its authenticity and lend warmth and character that only genuine antique metal can...
