Postby 2209patrick » Sun Feb 11, 2007 2:32 pm

The 1st what-is-it question seemed to go well, so here's another one.
This style of item originated in what country and what did they call it?

Yes I agree with Miles, a Kovsch, I believe they were used for drinking wine.

I think I picked the wrong group to try to stump.
Kovsches were used to ladle out wine and spirits, according to my book.
Good work Miles and Trev.
