5:10pm
| I've been continuing digging in old photo folders, finding all sorts of lovely things! |
 Tankard Turkey, Iznik, Ottoman period, late 16th century Composite body painted under glaze Dimensions: H: 21.1 W: 16.4 D: 12.3 cm Purchase, Freer Gallery F1968.68 Info card |
| The following tankard at Chicago's Art Institute is very similar to the one at the Freer Gallery. (I suspect the same artist made it.) |

| This piece isn't a tankard, but it's also fritware: |
