Abstract

The first part of this paper presents a historical overview of the
development of home stoups, including their placement, purpose,
and the way they were used. Basic forms, types of material
they were made of, and the most common iconographic scenes
depicted on them are singled out. The second part of the paper
deals with two home stoups from the Modern Age Collection
of the Archaeological Museum of Istria in Pula. The ceramic
stoup with the central motif of Christ’s bust is dated to the
second half of the 18th century, and its origin presumably lies in
the area of the northern or central Italy. The glass one, with the
scene of Christ’s crucifixion, is dated to the 19th century, and
its manufacture is linked to the area of Venice.
