This Persian tinned copper water jug and matching circular shallow bowl from 1920 forms an antique ewer set suited for display on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library. The aged grey metal finish shows visible wear and patina across the hand-chased engraved patterns, the fluted lower body, the punched decorations on the baluster-shaped lobed jug, and the domed hinged lid with an acorn finial. The applied loop handle connects to a lid hinge via a metal pin, and the circular shallow basin features a matching lobed profile around the rim. The jug stands 32 cm high, 16 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. This decorative vessel set brings historic Persian character to a tabletop scheme. The combination of the textured chased motifs, the ribbed lower sections, and the muted metallic tones makes the ensemble suitable for traditional interior styling.

FAQs

Traditionally known as an aftaba set, these metalware vessels were used across Persia and the wider Middle East for handwashing before meals and ritual ablutions. The tin coating protected the underlying copper body from corrosion and chemical reactions with liquids.

Coppersmiths hand-hammered the body into form from sheet copper before applying detailed decorative chasing or engraving. The surface was subsequently coated in molten tin to create a silvery protective finish, which gradually wears away over time to reveal the warm copper beneath.

Authentic examples display hand-hammered irregularities, detailed hand-chased motifs such as fluting or floral cartouches, and natural surface wear where tinning has thinned. Joints, spouts, and handles often feature hand-brazed or hand-riveted construction details.

Position the complete set as a focal display piece on a sideboard, console, or mantelpiece to introduce metallic texture and historic form. The contrasting grey tin and warm exposed copper tones integrate effectively into both minimalist and eclectic decorative schemes.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft cloth and avoid chemical polishes or abrasive metal cleaners that strip the remaining tin layer. Preserving the natural surface oxidisation and patina maintains the historic integrity of the metalwork.
