Fineware depas of pale beige clay with dark red-brown paint. Misfired in places, and faded and worn in others. Interior of cup painted a dark red. On the exterior, two parallel lines on the handles and to the lip, followed by a series of vertical lines running around the vessel. This is broken by a central panel either side, with the ‘wigglies’ motif. Below, a series of concentric circles around the main body of the vessel. From the foot, vertical rays point upwards. On the foot is a thin red line, and another concentric circle appears on the underside of the foot. Colour: paint 10R 5/8 (red), 2.5YR 3/6 (dark red), fabric 10YR 7/4 (very pale brown).

This piece was given to the University of Birmingham by Archdeacon Hopkinson.
