A striking vintage brass ewer dating to the 1960s, designed in the traditional Persian and Islamic metalwork style. The piece features a rounded bulbous body, tall cylindrical neck, elongated curved spout, sweeping handle, and a decorative hinged lid with a raised finial.

The entire surface is richly hand-engraved with intricate floral and foliate motifs, extending across the body, neck, lid, spout, and handle. Its naturally aged brass finish and darkened engraved details give the piece beautiful depth and authentic vintage character.

With its tall sculptural proportions and elaborate craftsmanship, this decorative ewer makes an impressive statement piece and a distinctive addition to a collection of Islamic or Middle Eastern metalwork.
