This is a dark blue-gray, high-fired stoneware lidded stem cup. The lid is crowned by a pearl-shaped knob, while both the inner and outer surfaces of lid have traces related to the attachment of the knob to the lid. A v-shaped pattern of engraved dots, made using a sixtooth comb, surrounds the central knob. The cup&rsquo;s flange slopes inwards and has a sharp edge. The cup body has a horizontal gallery that holds the lid in place. The stem is perforated by rectangular openings, below which is a sharply protruding circular raised band. Traces of rotation and water smoothing are visible on the body and stem of the cup.
