Origin - dont know how much you know. But we are in the Ottoman empire. A newer edition but definite Ottoman.

Some of the design elements are Islamic, to be sure. The workmanship looks very typical of 20th century Indian / Pakistani brass.
I think they are from Pakistan and modern. Perhaps Warren will be able to identify the region from which the writing originates.
I see the admin already addressed the other "question."
Regards,

Good evening Hose and David,
Yes definitely India/Pakistan. Let's see if we can get a translation of either Arabic but most likely Urdu.

The square building on the one vessel is the Kaaba in Mecca
Immediately above it is written in Arabic "Makkah Muazzama" - glorious Mecca.
This looks like a memento from Saudi Arabia- perhaps from the Hajj or Umra.
I expect that the item was made in India or Pakistan.
The script in the rounds is beyond me but if all four are related, it is likely Arabic as well.
