Narrative
Fork Spoon Knife--a very straightforward name for a silverware store.
Notice the curious teapots in the lower left-hand corner of the shop window. This is a çaydanlik, a teapot designed especially for preparing Turkish tea. A smaller teapot rests atop a larger one. The çay is brewed in the smaller pot, while water is boiled in the larger one on the bottom. When it comes time to pour a glass, one can use the water to dilute the tea to one's desired potency.
