    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg I got these about a year ago and thought they were cool. They have a stamp on the bottom that appears to be a star and crescent moon. On one of the handles, you can make out, what appears to be a N and maybe a W.

    I'd call them ewers, and they look more like brass than copper.

    image.jpg I had seen that on Wikipedia before. I was wondering if the design could help determining origin. It looks like a moth or butterfly going around it.
