Vintage Sarajevo Yugoslavia Brass Bosnian Coffee Set Tray Đezva Cups Balkan Folk

This vintage Sarajevo-made Bosnian coffee set features traditional hand-engraved floral and geometric motifs characteristic of Balkan metalwork. The brass tray and vessels display fine etched detailing, with a raised decorative border and a sculptural central handle on the coffee pot.

The underside bears the original label:
“Sarajevo – Preduzeće Umjetnih Zanata – Made in Yugoslavia”, confirming mid-20th-century production by a state-supported artisan workshop.

A beautiful example of Yugoslav folk craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of Balkan, Ottoman-influenced, or Eastern European decorative arts.
