content: Collector's notes: "The cups are small bowls without handles. If filled to the limit they might hold 1/4 cup. However, they are never filled full; the guest is expected to sip several cups. These are imports, probably from [Asia]. To the best of my knowledge none are made in Saudi Arabia. The container is a tall brass cylinder with attached lid. The cups are stacked in it when not in use."
