Summary

[edit]
Description
English: National Museum of Scotland.

A mazer was a communal drinking cup used while feasting. They were originally made in Germany (between the 11th and 16th centuries) from maple, which has spotted markings - Maser is the German word for these spots.
They take the form of shallow bowls with a foot to rest it on a table, and a decorative boss in the centre of the inside.
The foot, the boss (also known as the print) and the metalwork around the rim of the Bute Mazer are all made of silver.

This is the oldest surviving Scottish mazer, and is associated with Rothesay Castle on Bute. It is thought to have been used in the 1320's, so is at least that old.
