DULLAH and DULLAH

[ariel]

Yes, I think Ibrahiim's correction is valid.

Dulla , AFAIK, usually refers to the foamy bag, protruding from the mouth of a sexually-excited male camel. It is often featured on Indian khanjar or sword handles , confused with large tongues and likely stresses macho image.

Salaams Ariel, Yes that is a male since it wears all the metal rings in its nose...with ropes attached. It is a lead camel...Galaisah...Female camels are in season all the time, however, it is the males that come into season... in cold weather.
Getting in between a male in season and a female can prove fatal as the male is prone to attack with the apparent aim of biting off an arm or a leg.

Below various pictures involving Coffee.. Gahwa..The original red clay coffee pots....the other equipment Yad wa yad mal hawan mortar and pestle..the coffee bean cooking pan and stirrer....some more pots and a whopping coffee pot big enough for about 50 people..

Salaams Ibrahiim,
You do not give dimensions of the huge coffee pot in your pic above. I recently picked up this large pot in a local junk shop.
Size is 10" (25.5mm) to the top of the bowl and 14" (35.5mm) to the top of the cover not including the spike. Heavy brass construction and nicely decorated overall. Probably Saudi I think.

Hi Stu,
Thanks for this post. I have had a long-time interest in Chinese tea pots and have a small collection that I brought home with me. For some odd reason smoking-related items also interest me. I have a couple of hooka (of course) and silver cigarette cases. Please let me know if they are of interest to anyone else and I will post some photos. Thanks again. Good thread.

Probably of interest but maybe in a new Post then comments can be placed in the right place. I have the odd Chinese pot and pipe also.

Was in Dubai recently and saw these monsters in an antique shop. Obviously not suitable for actual use as the weight with liquid in them would be impossible to lift. Very ornate and nicely made pots just the same and would make a real converstaion piece sitting in the living room!

Hi Stu

WOW!!!! Those are monsters alright. LOL While not in my line of collecting, I do find them interesting, and certainly very decorative. Nice collection you have.
These remind me of a Lebanese restaurant I frequent here. For desert, I always order a shot of Arak on the rocks, and a Turkish coffee. I remember my late wife use to ask me: "How do you drink that coffee ? It's thick as paint"
LOL!!
