Overview

A set of ten vintage Turkish shish kebab skewers, each topped with a different cast brass-tone finial on a long, pointed steel shaft. The finials include a pointed panel engraved with arabesque flowers, a turbaned man riding a donkey, a figure in a pointed cap, a branching openwork tree with clover tips, a round geometric lattice, a robed standing figure, a castle with three towers, a five-sided panel engraved with flowers, a flame-shaped top with a small tower at its center, and a twelve-point openwork rosette. The gold-colored tops stand out against the silver-gray shafts. They work for grilling or as a display in a kitchen, on a bar cart or with other barbecue tools.

Background

Skewers with decorative brass finials on steel shafts are a well-known type of 20th-century Turkish barbecue ware, often decorated with folk figures, buildings and traditional patterns. Several shafts are stamped "STAINLESS STEEL MADE IN TURKEY" and others "STAINLESS STEEL". The maker is not identified, and the finials have not been tested to confirm the metal.

Condition

Used vintage condition. The shafts have scratches, discoloration and some darker staining near the tips, and a few are very slightly out of line. The finials have light tarnish and darkening in the recesses. All ten finials are present and attached. Please clean before cooking. Please see all photos.

Dimensions & Weight

Each skewer is about 17 inches long. The set of ten weighs about 1 lb 5.7 oz.
