On my husband's last trip to Iraq, he made friendly with a local merchant at one of the bazaars.For Christmas 2009, I received these lovely antique copper pots. Even though they look as though they've been carried around on the backside of a camel for 50 years or so, I love them. We both decided we would like to get these restored/retinned so that they are safely functional. Copper retinners are very common, but thank goodness for the web.

We found a well respected silversmith in Seattle to do the work. Zapffe's has been around since 1919 and their work is amazing. Check out their website - www.zapffesilvermiths.com. The end result is spectacular!
