Briq

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.

The briq was historically carried around by people to quench thirst as its design is efficient and easy to use.

[6][4] The lips do not touch the spout whilst drinking and this is especially important and hygienic as it is usually shared between several people.

[7] Their overall use has declined over time into the modern day, however recent efforts have been made to revitalize this ancient cultural heritage in Lebanon.
