It dates circa 1700-1850 or earlier.  It has been attributed to the Isfahan area. It is finely engraved with alternating medallions of bird in an ornate floral landscape and medallions of symmetrical calligraphy. Between the medallions are additional engraved floral wreaths There are three silver hallmarks on the base, some in Arabic script.  Condition is excellent except for a small bung (see enlargement). Overall, this is an outstanding work of art and much nicer than my poor photos would indicate.  Any color changes in the photos are from the flash and not on the vase itself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We prefer payment by Paypal, but will also accept a bank check or postal money order in the US only.  All financial instruments must clear completely prior to shipment.
