NEW YORK – If you’re unfamiliar with the kovsh, you’re either not of Russian lineage or have simply never stumbled upon the word. First things first: It’s pronounced “cove” with an “sh” tacked on at the end (the plural is kovshi). As for what it is, the kovsh is a traditional drinking vessel, or ladle, from Russia, and it’s been around for more than a thousand years. Specimens have been dug up that date as far back as the 10th century, when they were mostly made from wood or even tightly woven cloth. For centuries the kovsh was a popular, distinctive article of Old Russian tableware.
