Just a note on the names of these items.
The kettle at the beginning of this thread is in Javanese, a "ceret".
The word "ghendi" should be "gendhi", "gendhi" is a regional variation of "kendhi" and a kendhi is specifically an earthenware water caraffe with a spout. Spoken, the two words both sound pretty much the same, it is probably only the spelling that differs.
In respect of decorative enhancement, in Jawa embossing & engraving are both commonly used in the ornamentation of metal objects.
