This is an odd-shaped cup. The upper part is a shallow bowl with the mouth rim turned outward in the shape of a “U”. The base is elongated and watermarked on three sides. At this stage, the two-tiered watermark is usually staggered. The black surface of the bowl is well-fired and covered with a yellowish-white natural glaze.
