hi all, I'm a newbie so hello to you all. My mum has had an item in her garage for quite some time which was nearly black through neglect. I've tried to clean it with brasso and it's come up rather well. The only thing is we have no idea what it is. It's neck seems rather too narrow to be a vase and we wondered if it was a decanter of some kind. I've attached photos but there are no markings or dates on the base. The pictures on the outside appear to be of Indian (type) dancers. I've tried to capture this in one of the photos. I think it's made of brass and is approximately 12 inches high. If anyone has any idea what it is, it would be really interesting to find out. Many thanks, Abby

All I can tell you is that its some kind of metal Ewer.. It looks like something from the Nader Factory in Iran.
