Saudi Arabia Teapot


I saw this unusual teapot being used as decor in a restaurant in Yanbu.  It's definitely seen better days, but the shape and the elaborate designs on the pot I thought were really unique.  I don't know how old it is or what it's made of (the darker metal is most likely copper because of the patina).  The spout and the handle are rather strange shapes.  There is also another identical pot right behind this one, so I'm guessing that they were used as serving vessels at this restaurant at some point in time.
