Description

A two-handled cup with a wide flared rim and a ring foot, photographed from the side against a pale background. The dark surface shows a light-coloured owl with large round eyes, flanked on both sides by tall leaf and palmette-like motifs. Hairline cracks run across the glaze, and a pale band encircles the body above the foot.
