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...

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...
