Vintage Coffee Pot

Large Coffee Pot

Damascus, Syria,  Mid C20th

(One branch of the Hassoun family of coppersmiths are based in Syria)

The specific maker has stamped the pot with his mark

The main body and base of this large pot has been beaten from a single sheet of copper so that it can be put safely, directly onto fire to make coffee (the necessary seams are higher up the body)
