The beak-spouted vessel with metal-inspired shape and surface finish is a characteristic ceramic shape of the second and first millennium B.C. E. in northern Iran. Numerous examples have been excavated or reported from a wide area of this region, extending from the southwest Caspian Sea to northwestern Iran. The origins of the shape are almost certainly in metal vessels, as reflected in the sharp, metallic forms and lustrous, copper-colored surfaces of the ceramic versions.
