Set of five antique, handcrafted, gilded copper Islamic hammam bowls, dating from the first half of the 20th century (1900-1940). Each bowl features a traditional design of calligraphy and finely incised geometric patterns. While similar in shape, the bowls exhibit slight variations in size, thickness, and ornamentation. Two bowls share a similar design, while the others have their own unique motifs. The calligraphy, however, is similar on several of the bowls.
Diameter approximately 12 cm, height between 4 and 4.5 cm. In very good overall condition with patina, minor oxidation, scratches, and signs of age consistent with the pieces' age. The condition varies slightly from one bowl to another, with no major flaws, one being slightly darker. They have been cleaned to restore their original luster. Approximately 100-200 grams each.
