Hand-painted coffee cups like this one would have been a luxury item bought only by the very rich. It was made in Kütahya in western Anatolia. Potters in the town produced many coffee cups to meet the demand created by the popular drink. Fancier Kütahya wares like this piece were eventually outclassed by the fine porcelain cups made at Meissen in Germany. The town of Kütahya had a long tradition of making pottery. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was overshadowed by Iznik in north-west Anatolia. But in the 18th century, after the industry in Iznik collapsed, Kütahya became the main centre for fritware production in Turkey.
