Two Ottoman travel mugs - Lot 296
Two Ottoman travel mugs
Leather embroidered with silver thread
Turkey, 18th century
H. 10 and 9.5 cm
These two folding leather goblets are examples of objects of use of which few examples have come down to us. The quality, portability and luxury of these objects probably correspond to those used during military or hunting campaigns and intended for high-ranking individuals. The embroidered inscription on one, referring to water and its religious significance, supports this view: "Here is water! When the people of spirituality drink, let the cup say, Here! Drink this, Bonne santé Monseigneur".
