Hmmm, very similar to our local coffee pot or BAKRAJ, the top is different and the spout has a hinged cover. They are still in use for traditional ceremonies in the Arab/Druze/Bedouin sector.
BTW, Afrita or Afrit is a she-demon to my best knowledge, much alike the hebrew Lilith.

Hi
"Afrita" this is not an "evil spirit", just some one in between "Angels and Demons"
