Cup
The cup is complete; there is a long crack on the wall. It is cylindrical in shape. The wall is very slightly domed, with a straight rim and a plain top. The wall curves at the base towards the sock, which is flat. The cup rests on a ring-shaped foot, with a beveled outer rim. The base is wide and free of glaze. The bottom is recessed and flat. The cup is fitted with a vertical, ear-shaped handle; its upper end is folded down and rests on the wall, while the other rests on the wall. The cross-section is oval. There are slight flaws in the glaze of the inner base; the decoration is hand-painted in blue. It is vegetal and animal (Bird on the branch). The decoration under the inner rim consists of a ribbon made of double latticework. The outer wall is decorated with long, leafy, flowering stems, with a large central flower; on one of the branches perches a bird seen in profile.
