Traditional Hittite patterned wine flask with four goblets. This is a small one but a full sized one (about three times this size) is hung over your shoulder poured into the goblet. This style helps keep the wine cool and enhances the flavor aerating the wine as it is being poured out.
Incredible Turkish Rugs.. In the States when you think of quality rugs you think Persian.. In the UK when you think of quality rugs, you think Turkish! These flowered patterns are considered the pattern of Royalty which I never knew. Also, we were able to watch some Turkish rugs at different stages of the weaving process and are able to tell a high vs. low quality rug. So cool!
This is a traditional Turkish pattern. You see this type of rug hung all over Turkey.
Those are soooooo gorgeous...the flasks, the goblets, and the rugs are out of this world!!!! They will certainly be a focal point for rooms when you get back to the states and decorate your home here
