The Turkish inscription around the neck of this ewer is a Turkish couplet which reads içilmez mi elinden su , getürmi-i bir keman abru (Who could refuse to drink water brought by such an arched eyebrow?). The same inscription is found on a ewer in the collection of the Foundation of Suna and Inan Kiraç (illustrated in Garo Kürkman, Magic of Clay and Fire, A History of Kütahya Pottery and Potters, Turkey, 2006, Figs.295-298, pp.228-229).
