Description: | The University has two early Scottish mazers: the St Mary’s College Mazer produced by Alexander Auchinleck, Edinburgh, between 1552 and 1562 (which is the earliest fully hallmarked piece of Edinburgh silver) and the St Leonard’s College Mazer, which in its original form may date from the mid 16th to early 17th century. ‘Mazers’ are communal drinking cups. The college mazers would have been passed round the college dining tables at high occasions, such as feasts. | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Creator: | University of St Andrews | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | HC:C7 | Language: | en-GB |
