Stoneware, thrown, shaped and celadon-glazed. This small flower-shaped cup has a rounded body, a slightly incurved mouth with six indentations, and matching indentations on the outside. The centre inside is recessed, and the splayed foot is hollowed-out underneath. The pale green glaze has a subtle gloss. The footring shows traces of fire-clay spurs.
