Can’t find origin of this tea pot.

Hi all

Really appreciate your help to figure out this hallmark.

It’s a tiger with Arabic writing.

Could be from many a country in the Middle East.

Please can you help narrow it down so can figure out the origin of this piece once and for all.

Been driving me crazy for weeks checking records but still no answers.

Thank you

Hi,

Hello

This is almost certainly a Moroccan tea pot.

Below the image of the tiger it reads دار النمر (dar an namar) or "House of the Tiger" - likely the name of the manufacturer.

In the rectangle below the circle it reads فضة حرّة (fidha hurra) or "free silver". I don't know, however, what that means in terms of silver content.

I hope that this is useful.
