Cup Or Jug.
Fragment of shoulder and lower rim.
Low, rounded shoulder. Rim convex to outside, with groove at base.
Moldmade body: tops of small imbricate petals or leaves visible.
Rim pattern: jeweling between ridges. Dull brown glaze.
Wall decoration probably as 1786, clearly an import, from the same area; also similar: P 20450, also from D 17. For the shape of the rim cf. Italian moldmade cups of the workshop of Sarius, from North Italy, dating in the first quarter of the 1st century after Christ (Dallemulle 1975, nos. 2--5, 7, pp. 279--282, figs. 6--8, pls. LV--VLII). Cf. also 1698 and 1699, wheelmade imports of the first half of the 1st century.
