- 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."
- Cups: set of 6 identical cups, fine white porcelain with gold line on inside rim. Also gold line drawing on sides, with palm trees, birds, and foliage (?). No handles. Container is a brass cylinder with bands of raised flower pattern near top and bottom. Cone shaped lid attached by chain.
