Briq

Lebanese Arabs drinking out of a Briq and eating a mezze, 1889

A Briq, Ibrik or Brik (Arabic: بريق) is an ancient teapot and pitcher traditionally used by the inhabitants of Lebanon and Syria to prepare and drink tea or water.[1][2][3] It is a pot and handle with an unconventional spout that allows liquid to be consumed easily with no receptacle and tea to be mixed effectively and conveniently.[4][5] It is traditionally earthenware, however glass briqs are also common [1]. It is similar to the Spanish porron.
