Hi,
Ottoman empire had Tughra as official mark.

This is not Tugra in your image. That`s what I thought; elimination of Tughra.

Arabic 90 on the right meaans it is .900 solid silver fineness.
I suppose an Arab could decipher the meaning if the text is in Arabic. But if it is Farsi, spoken in Iran, an Arab could not read it.
Try to find people around you who are familiar with Arabic and Farsi.

Hi Dani
a very strange coincidence.
The mark on your mug looks to me similar to that of a tea container (I suppose) I own, which has been talked about in this post
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=36175
The decoration is also very similar.
Unfortunately the photos were lost.

At that time, a certain identification was not reached. Let's hope that this time the truth is revealed.
Best regards
Amena
