    Default Can anyone help me identify this piece of Middle Eastern metal ware?

    Hello all.

    I recently acquired this heavy cast metal cup and saucer. It feels quite old and I think it might be bronze. It feels like it could be Middle Eastern in origin (Persia, Syria?). I don't think it is ornate enough to be Cairo Ware. I took it to my local auction house and they drew a blank on it.

    If anyone with any knowledge of this kind of antique could give me some pointers, I would be most grateful.

    Many thanks.

    Unfortunately I know very little about it. All I can do is post some more pictures:

    pictures need to be reduced in size....

    Could it be the Holy Grail?

    You might be on to something! There is no definitive record of what The Holy Grail actually looks like is there?

    (No, I cannot be serious!)
