The sixth item is a very nice tankard or for easier termanology mug.It has small peacocks,pomegranates,tulips in bloom
and red and yellow borders at the top and bottom.The mug is 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide in diameter.There is a nice
flat and very thin handle attached to the glass.The glass is very thin and so it weighs very little.It has a very rough pontil.These are extremely rare and you see one at auction once every 10 years.
