ملاحظات
This type of pot-bellied drinking jug was common in Iran and Central Asia in the period 1400-1500. They were made in a wide variety of materials, including jade and precious metals. By the end of the century, they were also being made in Istanbul in silver gilt.

Tarihsel bağlam
The shapes of these types of jugs are based on late-fifteenth century silver and/or gold-inlaid Timurid brasses, several of which are in the Istanbul museums. Most of these pieces must have arrived in the court after the conquest of Tabriz, either brought by Bedi uz-Zaman, the last Sultan of Herat, or taken as booty from the Safavids. The same shape was previously used on a jade vessel made for Ulugh Bey in the second quarter of the 15th century as well as on early 16th century Safavid objects. It is also found in zinc, rock-crystal, jade and other stone examples made in the Ottoman court as well as in contemporary ceramics. In addition it was copied in 15th and 16th century blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, persumably made for the Islamic courts. The fact that it was made in such diverse materials and techniques indicates that it was extremely functional.
