Nicely vague!

Salaams ~ Indeed they have invented a sort of "antiquity woffle" to describe such items. It is as complex as swords! The Afghans call them aftawar and the others call them Ewers ... a posh name for a water jug. Michael Backman has some nice examples. I have ewers going back to the 12 th Century ~ Love em all !!
