Pictures 16 & 17. - This second hekmet seems like an rare, interesting item: its not the flutted tear shape Ottoman chichak and it is not the spiked dome ("half egg") Indo-Persian khula-khud , it seems to be Timurid Persian , i see Mongol and I see Persian in it, I also think it goes 18th century and beyond.
One could atribute it to Ottomans as well but unless one of us reads the inscription (Persian, Turkish, Arabic?) so far I'll stick with the upper mentioned story.
I am sure Wolviex has already gotten the answer ... Jens ?
