Description

Physical Description:

A ceramic rounded bowl with a tall, trapered cylindrical stand with a wide lip. The base is detailed with staggered square cut-outs that run from the lip to the middle of the base.

This is a dark-gray, single-tiered, perforated, high-fired stoneware stem cup. The body of the cup curves upwards, and the rim has a sharp edge, while the inner surface of the mouth is tapered. A deep incised line divides the pedestal into its upper and lower halves; the lower half features square perforations. A natural glaze is pooled at the base of the cup, while the bottom of the outer surface shows traces of rotation and water smoothing.
