THIS LISTING IS FOR A RARE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, (c1719)  SAFAVID / OTTOMAN EMPIRE HISTORICAL  ARTEFACT  - A LARGE HAND DECORATED TIN PLATE ON COPPER SERVING PLATTER. IT MEASURES 34.2cm DIAMETER, BOTH THE DEEP BOWL AND ITS EDGE ARE HAND ETCHED WITH ORNATE ISLAMIC SYMBOLS, AND THE METAL PLATING FOLDS UNDER ITS RIM. ON THE REVERSE IS A MAKERS MARK TOGETHER WITH A 1719 DATE STAMP, PLUS A METAL HANGING LOOP. ONCE THE PLATTER HAS BEEN POLISHED UP, IT WILL REVEAL A RICH COPPER LUSTER PATINA, AND IT WOULD MAKE A MOST INTERESTING ITEM OF HOME DECOR. I HAVE MORE ARABIC / ISLAMIC PIECES, TOGETHER WITH NUMEROUS OTHER VINTAGE & ANTIQUE LISTINGS - MULTI ITEM POSTAGE DISCOUNT WOULD OF COURSE BE GIVEN WHERE APPLICABLE.  

THANKS FOR LOOKING.       Colin.
