    It's a coffee pot, is all I know. They came from all over North Africa; my Mom brought one back from Egypt. Tourists brought them back early and often.

    For google searching, try the name "dallah." =Arabic coffeepot (Arabic: دلة‎)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Hello, @Sijames and welcome to Antiquers! A general recommendation to get a sense of value is to look for completed sales on eBay or any other site where you can find listings that actually sold. From other replies it sounds like this type of coffee pot might be commonly available, so not rare.

    Best wishes!

    It does seem to be quite a nice one, even if made for the tourist trade; but my best advice would be to do an ebay search for completed listings using the term "dallah." And be sure to note the difference between listings that have actually sold versus those that closed without bids.
