This is an unusual arrangement of six cups arranged on a rectangular stand with rounded corners, somewhat different from the usual arrangement of cups surrounding a single central cup. The foot of the base has a wide spread hem, and is decorated with a diagonal comb-tooth pattern below two sunken lines and triangular watermarks on the three sides of the lower section.
