I'm not sure , I think so but this could also have been used in Central Asia and not Pakistan but the enamel looks similar also to pieces i have sold from Central Asia too.

What lovely piece Linda, it has gained its warmth and charm through the years. Generous end decorations and nice sturdy bails. Love the bells as well, a poor picture though, maybe we can see a better picture,.Gr. Ingrid
