Notes
A cylindrical mug with an angled handle, decorated with sprigs of lavender, hyacinth and other flowers in light blue, green and red on a white background. The plant's columnar stems bend slightly, and the edge and stem are decorated with an undulating network of small leaves. The model of this mug, inspired by Balkan metallurgy, became widespread in Ottoman Türkiye during the second half of the AH 10th / AD 16th century. This piece was also used as a flower pot.
