Every now and then...something quite startling appears in the souk... In this case 4 coffee pots that have not seen the light of day for a half a century...exquisite and incredibly rare Omani Coffee pots like these were once common here...and they just joined my private collection. You will recall that as a weapon of assassination how important the coffee pot was for poisoning !!

Coffee anyone?

Dear Ibrahim,
Is it possible to buy and to bring back a kattara from your country?
Is it allowed by the custom?
Thanks

Salaams Kubur..Assuming the country you are in allows it...we certainly allow export.

Muttrah in front of the Souk in the not so distant past...Pre 1970...and now..and at #1 the new corniche; an elevated dual carriageway which sweeps along what was the beach.

Default The Omani Coffee Pot.

I would not normally raise an eyebrow at coffee pots however the 3 items below are simply straight out of the Arc... thus ;
