Pottery: Unknown (Probably)
Cup with floral design. Stoneware, thrown, incised, and celadon-glazed. This cup has a tall ovoid body with incurved mouth and a low footring. A band of simplified key-fret is incised around the rim, and four highly stylised chrysanthemum sprays on the sides below. The pale bluish-green glaze is evenly applied. Three quartzite spur-marks are remaining near the footring. This wine cup would originally have had a matching stand.
