And now the primer flasks
Same style, same period for me early 20th c.
And yes, they are frequent on epray and very cheap.
On one flask I can read 1930 (Christian calendar), if you remember a recent post, I even said that they could be for early tourists, despite the fact that they look functional as Rick said previously...
And I'm very suspicious about the Arabic script on the late production, probably to attract more customers...
To conclude, we have two families the 19th c. one as the one depicted on the Greek painting in Rick's post and the later one, probably from Istanbul and tourist connected...
