This monumental, hand-hammered copper ewer is a rare masterpiece of Turkish metalwork, offering an unparalleled blend of military heritage and artisanal luxury. Standing a majestic  37cm tall with a commanding 53cm body diameter, this piece is a true hero object designed for the most discerning interior collections.

The vessel is defined by its exceptional silver-toned iconography, featuring a high-relief winged crescent and star—the prestigious insignia of Turkish aviation history.

 

It is exceptionally rare to find such a piece complete with its original, hand-cast spread-wing eagle finial. Most period examples have lost their original stoppers over the decades; the presence of both the central emblem and the bird finial makes this a significant find for collectors of rare militaria and fine salvage.

 

Exhibiting the pinnacle of traditional coppersmithing, the ewer features heavy-gauge, hand-beaten construction with elegant ringed detailing along the slender, tapering neck. The deep, authentic patina has been preserved to highlight the rich texture of the hammered surface, providing a timeless, masculine aesthetic that anchors a room. Whether showcased in a private library, a corporate office, or a curated professional study, this ewer represents a storied legacy of flight and craftsmanship.
