This picture shows the small negative painted cup in three views,
top, bottom and edge. Some of the engraving has been digitally
enhanced. The painted design seems to be very complicated. Further
investigation with better technology might determine more of the
pattern.
This small cup is
exceptionally well made by someone who was skilled in making ceramic
vessels. The surface is very smooth and polished. Its thickest
measurement is at the base and then tapers nicely to a very even
edge that measures less than 1 mm. It measures 2 3/4 inches (7 cm)
in diameter and 1 inch (2.6 cm) high.
