I don't know if the pink, red, and brown cups are melamine but I remember similar ones when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's. The yellow ones have metal handles and has the letters NFC inside a circle and Pat.Pend. numbers.

I've named this my kindling bowl because it's made from some scraps that I had that would have been used for kindling a fire in my wood burning stove had I not used them for turning. The wood is pine from some stair treads that I installed last year. It's about 7" tall and 5" in diameter. Based on the shape and size I guess it could be called a vase or just a vessel.

This tea cup belonged to my Great- great grandma. It has an interesting shape for way back then, with its 8 sides...
This was my first attempt at "still life". I set up a piece of black cardboard for a background and placed the cup on my polished timber dining table. I then shone a torch into the cup and placed my camera on a tripod and used the 10sec timer to try and eliminate shake (I don't have a remote release). Pretty happy with the outcome but will keep on practising :))))

Went here for Hailee's good grades, I ended up winning a total of 1,749 points, of whatever they call the ticket things these days, so I donated some to Hai, since none of the prizes caught my fancy.

Lycian drinking cup, 410–390 BC
Lycia, found at Tell el-Maskhuta, Egypt
Silver, gold and glass
This silver cup is Greek in style and shape. It is decorated with a Greek myth, in which the Trojan prince Paris judged a beauty contest between the goddesses Aphrodite, Athena and Hera. The figures, however, are identified in Lycian writing, with Athena given the name of Lycian deity Malija. Paris’ eastern clothing reflects Greek conventions representing Trojans, but this may have had added significance in Persian-ruled Lycia.*
Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) was a crossroads of Persian, Greek and local cultures. When Cyrus II ‘the Great’ (about 600–530 BC) invaded the region in 546 BC, he captured wealthy kingdoms such as Lydia and Lycia, and the Greek settlements on the Ionian coast.
Although he appointed Persian satraps as governors, some local dynasts were permitted to rule on the king’s behalf. One of these was King Arbinas of Lycia, for whom the Nereid Monument was built.*
From the exhibition
Luxury and power: Persia to Greece
(May 2023 – Aug 2023)
Between 490 and 479 BC, the Persian empire tried, and failed, to conquer mainland Greece. Many Greeks explained their victory as a triumph of plain living over a ‘barbarian’ enemy weakened by luxury. Ancient objects reveal a different story. The Persian court used luxury as an expression of prestige and power, with a distinctive style that was imitated and adapted across cultural borders, even influencing democratic Athens and, later, the world of Alexander the Great.
'Treasure there was in plenty – tents full of gold and silver furniture… bowls, goblets, and cups, all made of gold'
When Greek soldiers captured the royal command tent of the Persian king during the Greco-Persian Wars (499–449 BC), they were confronted suddenly and spectacularly by luxury on an unimaginable scale. To many ancient Greek writers, the victories of the small Greek forces against the mighty Persians were a triumph of discipline and restraint over an empire weakened by decadence and excess.
Drawing on dazzling objects from Afghanistan to Greece, this exhibition moved beyond the ancient Greek spin to explore a more complex story about luxury as a political tool in the Middle East and southeast Europe from 550–30 BC. It explored how the royal Achaemenid court of Persia used precious objects as markers of authority, defining a style of luxury that resonated across the empire from Egypt to India. It considered how eastern luxuries were received in early democratic Athens, self-styled as Persia's arch-enemy, and how they were adapted in innovative ways to make them socially and politically acceptable. Finally, it explored how Alexander the Great swept aside the Persian empire to usher in a new Hellenistic age in which eastern and western styles of luxury were fused as part of an increasingly interconnected world.
The exhibition brought together exquisitely crafted objects in gold, silver and glass, and featured star loans including the extraordinary Panagyurishte Treasure from Bulgaria. Whether coveted as objects of prestige or disparaged as signs of decadence, the beauty of these Persian, Greek and Hellenistic luxuries shaped the political landscape of Europe and Asia in the first millennium BC – and their legacy persists in our attitudes to luxury today.
