oooooooooooooo!!...Classy.....or maybe i should call you Pinocchio....."After doing some research this is what I believe to be A fine antique 19thC Mamluk Revival Islamic bowl of hand hammered Brass with Copper & Silver"....now i wonder where you found ....19thC Mamluk Islamic Revival"......need i continue..... ;D ;D ;D ;D....this is, what  is called....caught with yer panties down.... ;D

Not really Wullie !!  I have done additional research on some items after listing it on ebay !! Not often but occasionally you want to know more to help your sale potential !!
  Here are some Thai Consonants  They are comparable  http://stujay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Thai-Consonant-Map-2.0-Stuart-Jay-Raj_Page_2.jpg

Yeah I updated it as to be honest I have no clue, everyone has told me a different country, Thailand, India, Eygpt lol everyone says something different, it's a mystery!!

First character on the left looks Thai. I think it's far more likely to be Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian etc than Arabic. Those little flicks and straight lines are not Arabic.


Interesting to find out but i expect will have very little influence on the value. Seems quite modern

Classy

Thanks for everyone's help, especially bigwull.

I never hid any information though, I listed the item after misreading bigwull's research (taking it literally) apologise for that.

I updated the item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231140417417

Thanks again and have a good weekend all
