Description
67 years ago, in 1953, one of our family friend was on a business trip in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in the former USSR. He said he wanted to buy Russian antiques, and the hotel floor manager fetched him an old woman who brought this mug.A long time ago, much befor 1900, her grandfather brought this mug during a war in the region and said he was an Armenian, Georgian or Jewish "devilish cup", belonging to an old Armenian or Jewish royal family which glorifying the King of the Demons Beelzebub.

At the bottom of the mug, on the inside, it is obvious that Beelzebub himself is depicted, hand engraved on the bottom.
