Okay, I know you’ve been dying to know what it was I got at that rummage sale at the St Nicholas Bazaar. So if you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s…
Рюмки!
Рюмки are basically shot glasses with stems. When I think of pюмки, I think of the anti-drinking propaganda poster (that I’ll have to post separately because I can’t figure out how to post 2 ‘landscape’ photos in the same set with a ‘portrait’/vertical one. I’d love some help if anyone knows how!) Anyway, I’ve always thought these were cool, so when I saw a basket of 9 of them for $5 (less than a shot of vodka at the same festival), I had to have them!
I don’t know if pюмки are actually Russian, but for me they are connected to Russia. I love that they’re not as cliche as some of the other Russian artifacts I love!
Have you ever had a drink from a pюмкa?
