[QUOTE="R. Antonis, post: 334168, member: 3943"]Hi everybody, I believe to have found something very amazing! I have found this opaline glass tea pot, which is made in Turkey. (Beykoz Opaline). Now, I havesearched online for many examples, and at first I was affraid it wouldn't be antique at all. Because I have seen a couple examples dating from 2007. But I have picked this one up, just 2 hours ago. And when I saw it, I started (or wanted) to believe it was indeed an antique Ottoman piece. It's very beautifully enamelled, could be real gold enamel. I'm not sure yet. The glass itself is opaline/opaque glass, without the opalescent (sunglow) effect. It has a rough pontil, meaning it's handblown. The cap was stuck inside. After trying to soak it in warm water, it finally came loose, and to my surprise it wasn't broken at all. Now, after soaking it, I emptied the bottle, and a paper note fell out. I'm not sure which language it's written. I bought this piece from a jewish man. Could anybody decipher this message? I don't think it's something important by the way, I'm just curious. ;) Please see the photographs of this amazing piece!! (Which I believe to be a coffe or tea pot.) Thank you very much again!! :) [ATTACH=full]111961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111966[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111968[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
