ottoman tugra ( I think !?)
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hello everybody,

I bought this small persian-ottoman ( old ) cup,
I think it's made of tinned copper.
Does anybody know this hallmark ( an ottoman tugra I think )
Or can anybody translate it please.

Kind Regards

It's inspired by an Ottoman tugra but it's not, it's reversed. The craftsman was likely illiterate and probably copied a seal.

Interesting !

I searched on the site tugra.org ( a good site ) but didn't find anything
similar.

Maybe a fake made in India,
or by someone who makes arabic calligraphy for europeans readers ;) ...

Are these copy frequently made ?...

It isn't especially old or very good work.
So, the tugra was probably intended to increase its value.

Yes !
The only good work is the tugra,
that's why I bought it ( not much thankfully ).
Maybe made later by somebody else.
I'll show it to an auction house next month.
