Although, of course, I could be wrong. But detail, which is a red circle - not typical of Ottoman items. But often found in Persian and Afghan items.

Salaams...The provenance shown seems right ...and the source is respectable I think... See
http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O7...asure-unknown/ for other examples where there is a crown shaped circle on top of the two top flasks...I see no reason why Ottoman loading items would not end up in Persian Afghan hands ... or if copies were made?
However, having said that...I think you are correct... Persian. Heres another reference on a sold Safavid item
