Turkish Coffee Pot. Vintage / Antique.
This beauty was appraised at the Antiques Road Show (the Canadian One). It didn’t make the cameras though. Although I was on the show another time, in Montreal. My 5 minutes of fame have been established. The appraiser said that it was originally brushed (or some techie term) with gold. You can still see a few flecks. It is worth a little bit. I wish I remembered more about what the appraiser said – you think you are listening, and really paying attention to all the details, but then they fleck off your memory, and all you have left is the traces – just like the gold paint.
I like the shape of the handle and spout. And the embossed pattern. There is a maker’s stamp on the bottom, but as I don’t read Arabic, it remains anonymous.
My parents acquired this. Not sure where, if it was both of them, or my mom might have got it a flea market. I don’t think they ever used it. I have not. It’s decorative lines are why I’ve kept it. As with other objects, undecided about its ‘keep’ status.

I hadn’t thought of pewter being made of tin. Now, I’m suspicious of my pretty pot.
I did receive, as a gift, a teapot shaped very like yours, from Morocco. Mine, however, had never come near gold leaf. That pot looked quite cheap and was given to good will. I hope someone found a use for it, if only to hold dandelions.
I have a British pot of pewter, with nearly the same spout and handle. Mine has been slightly squashed giving a very satisfying gourd-like shape. Because pewter is an alloy, with tin a major ingredient, I wonder if it is safe to use? My mate has taken it to use in his office; his clients comment, seeming to like it too.
You’re asking the wrong person. I am always suspicious of such materials:)
It looks kinda like a pot-bellied stove… or the head of a moustachioed man with a toothy smile & a bell on his head. Love the shape!
From a practical standpoint, I like (what I’m going to call) the “thumb brake” on the handle.
It looks like a jack-o’-lantern.
🙂 Actually through the camera lens, it did look kinda sinister.
