DescriptionPlain, deep cup of almost hemispherical form with straight sides flaring slightly at the lipless rim and rounding toward the base with solid foot, the hard grayish-white stoneware covered with a translucent greenish glaze speckled with natural impurities and showing a fine network of crazing lines, the glaze ending well short of the foot and pooling to a deeper color at the edge.
