In the complex history of the inhabitants of the Iranian plateau, the Iron Age is the period that paved the way for the entry into the historical era centered on the first global Achaemenid empire and is of great importance. During this period, many developments took place due to climatic conditions and immigrant tribes.
From the Iranian plateau in the Iron Age, war and non-war metal objects such as jewelry, various pottery, and many bone objects were obtained.
In a way, the Iron Age can be considered the era of the convergence of different cultures (immigrant tribes, invading tribes, and settled tribes), although the name Iron Age means the exclusive use of iron and the abandonment of other materials and minerals.
During this period, many water containers in the form of teapots were discovered, an example of which you can see here; but one of them is a teapot known as a basket-handled teapot.
Basket-handled teapots are pottery that have a handle on the coarse part, and are some of the most ancient forms that were commonly made in Iran. These teapots were used to hold liquids. The presence of a tube in these teapots helped to easily empty the liquid inside them into another container.
This teapot or basket-handled jug, which dates back to the Iron Age and is currently kept in the Abhar Archaeological Museum, has been recreated by the Dastan Art Group from pottery fired at 850 degrees
