AUCTION 53: A NEW YORK ART FALL SALE
Lot 68:
This type of mug is sometimes known as a ‘pass cup’ and was common in taverns in Russia during the 19th century. This example is of brass hammered out, as was the custom for most Russian brass and copperware. The three curved handles are held to the vessel by brass rivets. The underside of the piece is stamped with the Imperial Russian Eagle set above the phrase ‘в Туле’ translating to ‘In Tula’, indicating manufacture in the city of Tula.
