Product Details

The city of Nazareth has a long, rich tradition of metalworking, with local artisans producing decorative and functional brassware for both domestic use and the tourist trade. Workshops often passed down techniques through generations, specializing in vessels adorned with traditional Middle Eastern motifs and chased patterns. These pieces frequently incorporate distinctive animal finials, such as birds, which add a whimsical touch to otherwise formal serving vessels. In the mid-20th century, workshops like that of Iskandar Matar & Sons became particularly well-known for producing export-quality brass coffee and tea pots. Travelers and collectors prized these items for their intricate craftsmanship and authentic regional styling, which captured the aesthetic of the Levant. Today, they remain popular collectibles that reflect the vibrant cultural exchange and artisanal heritage of the region. Excellent Vintage Condition with two small dents on handle.Patina.
