The term “mazer” is applied to drinking bowls from the 13th century but is derived from the Middle High-German “mase” meaning “spot” from being a bowl of spotted wood
Shallow turned wood drinking vessels known as mazers, enriched with silver mounts, were a common in England until the early 16th century.
