Description
Small two-handled cup. Short everted rim and rounded body with six barbotine lozenges in row, four to left of handle and two very small to the right.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Fine, consistently fired fabric with very few tiny, light inclusions. Light red fabric and darker slip, both affected by marine exposure. Extant slip is thickest right under rim, of variable thickness on outer surface, with interior surface nearly plain further down inner wall.
Preservation comment
Two joining sherds preserve 25% of rim and upper profile of rounded wall; one handle intact. Slip is largely extant, though flaking in patches. Extensive, slight abrasion and scratching; worn breaks; rare specks of encrustation. Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
