Hi,
I'm not familier with metal marks and I found 2 metal vessels that I need help with. The one without the handle has a mark, looks like AMR or AMP with a flower with a stem and leaves, very worn. I have a picture is someone can help and the second vessel was found with it. No marks but the handle was handmade from another type of metal with metal within it, like a wire.Both appear old. I know pottery, not metal, can anyone help?
Thank you so much

Welcome to the forum,

Your vessels are mid-eastern and perhaps Persian. Iran craftsmen still make vessels like this so it is difficult to give you a date. They are made of copper and brass and with tinned interiors since they are made for use or for tourist trade.

These vessels do not fall into the scope of this forum since they probably not created during the Arts & Crafts Movement. Hope this helps.

Fred,
Thank you so much. I thought they were a little ornate looking, but they were in an estate of a 90 yo man. All of his other household things were from the Arts and Crafts period.
Thank you for your help Smile
