Baklaga

 

(Tatar, baklak), a small wooden, ceramic, or metal traveling vessel with a short narrow spout and handles for attaching a strap. The flat cylindrical or disklike shape makes it comfortable to carry. A ceramic baklaga may have short cone-shaped legs and be decorated with a design of colored glazes or of raised circles; a metal baklaga may have engraved or chiseled designs.
