Hello,

Written on it is " Murtada" T'is an Isfahani piece. The work of Iranian silversmiths. A fine addition to your collection.

Thanks so much.
Do you have any idea from when this piece dates? And is Murtada the silversmiths name?
kind regards

Hello. Murtada is a man's name commonly found in the Middle Eat, meaning " He who has been approved" if you will. So I'm sure it's the maker's name.
