Ottoman Turkish Copper Coffee Pot

This pleasing, well-proportioned coffee pot (dallah) is of copper sheet that has been chased finely with arabesques, split palmettes and pendant trefoils in a trellis array over the body.

The body itself is of compressed globular form, rising to a narrow neck, an elongated spouts and with a high, domed, hinged cover with a tall leafy finial. The handle is of elegant ‘S’ form. The vessel sits on a low ring foot.

This example is from the Ottoman world – probably Turkey itself or possibly from the Balkans.

It is in fine condition, has obvious, significant age, and is vert decorative given its pleasing proportions.
