Persian or Middle Eastern Iranian handicraft copper bowl with bits of turquoise stone Inlay Inlaid on the outer surface.
The technique is called Firuzehkubi also spelled Firoozeh Koobi (Persian: فیروزه کوبی or Firouze Koobi.
Measures slightly over 7" in diameter, 2.5" deep, weighs 11.6 oz. and holds a quart.
As found, clean but unpolished - the copper darkened with age with some greenish oxidation. No cracks, distortion nor deep scratches to the metal. On the stone inlay covering noted one small area missing a chip or two as pointed out in last picture enlargement. While looking discovered 8 very subtle wire designs blending in with the turquoise stones.
