The tea and tray set is a protocol gift from the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The gift was given in August 2006 to the then President of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, Janez Sušnik, by the current President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, who succeeded his father Heydar Aliyev in 2003.
It is a silver set with a teapot, six cups and a tray decorated with traditional oriental ornamentation.
The gift is part of a collection of protocol gifts from the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, which the Museum received in autumn 2019.
