[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10235992, member: 2844"]Frankly, no idea, but I don't see Persia, or the Arab world. The shape of the vessel and the handles look European to me, the women's heads look archaic Greek. The vine and leaf repoussé decoration is found in both Europe and Asia, but could be Asian. That blackening is seen a lot on Greek and Turkish antiqued metalware, which is usually hammered like this vessel. So maybe Greece or Turkey?[/QUOTE]
