Iranian Copper Vessel. Use unknown?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello my friends.

I have long admired the exquisite silver items made in Iran/persia, but being a man of modest means I could never afford to add them to my small collection.
So I was very happy when I got the chance to buy this piece, which has all the quality of the finest silversmiths skills but has been made in copper.
However, I am unsure what it was made for.
Could you please have a look and see if you know?
It is around 14inches/35cm tall so quite big.

Best 
Gene
