Help Identify this Middle Eastern Pitcher

[arcadiatradingco]

Anyone know which area this pitcher is from? The lady I bought it from said she got it a long time ago and the only similar one I found was from the 1800s. Is it turkish ottoman or persian etc., I would love some help describing it properly. Thanks! Misty

It looks Turkish or Moroccan, too bad it has been so thoroughly cleaned, it looks old! with all of the problems it has it is either a really old one which has been patched up (so that means it was used in a village somewhere) OR it is a badly made tourist item.   The Islamic symbols on it indicate it might havebeen used for ablutions before prayer. Never clean a suspected antique 🙂
