Name

cup

Description

Fragments of at least two thin-walled vessels (wall thickness in both cases c. 0.2cm)

henceforth (a) and (b). (a) Part of cup

composed of two glued-together fragments. Fine fabric

wheel-made

except for handle (formed by hand and attached). Everted rim

marked joint with shoulder/body

handle (bent band shape) attached above rim

joins body around height of maximum diameter. Smoothened surfaces

visible traces of joint between rim/body and handle (bulge

edges

and traces of (fabic?) wiping utensil). (b) Three body pieces that can be associated with each other based on fabric

wall thickness

and slip (applied both on outside and inside of vessel

stongly weathered). All of them formerly glued together but in one case there is almost certainly no fit

one piece is still composed of two glued-together fragments. Fine fabric

wheel-made

very fine horizontal lines on surface (traces of manufacture). One piece preserves bend that can be interpreted as neck (joint between body and rim). Based on curvature and wall thickness

the pieces probably formed part of a cup.
