It is traditionally made of brass or copper, occasionally also silver or gold. In more recent timescezveler are also made from stainless steel, aluminium, or ceramics.
The namecezve is ofTurkish origin, where it is a borrowing fromArabic:جِذوَة (jadhwa orjidhwa, meaning 'ember').
Thecezve is also known as anibrik, a Turkish word fromArabicإبريق (ʿibrīq), fromAramaicܐܖܪܝܩܐ (ʾaḇrēqā), from early Modern Persian*ābrēž (cf. Modern Persianābrēz), from Middle Persian*āb-rēǰ, ultimately from Old Persian*āp- 'water' +*raiča- 'pour' (cf. Modern Persian and Middle Persianریختن [rêxtan]).[1][2]
Other names are briki, rakwa, finjan (e.g., inIsrael[3]), toorka (in Russia) and kanaka.
In Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czechia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia, thecezve is a long-necked coffee pot. In Turkish anibrik is not a coffee pot, but simply a pitcher orewer.
