Buyer's premium:

An early 18th Century bell-shaped lidded metal vessel, likely silver or a silver-plated alloy, featuring a decorative finial. The surface is extensively engraved in a folk-art style, depicting multiple crosses of varying designs and bands of geometric and foliate patterns. A prominent inscription in Greek script on the mid-section reads “KAPTAN EΓENHOHT 1714,” which translates approximately to “Kaptan (was) made/created/dedicated 1714.”
