Cup with bulbous pierced stem
Life Story
This blackware goblet has a straight cup with a flared rim. The stem is bulbous and irregularly pierced through to the hollow centre, in vertical lines running down its length. The base is the same diameter as the cup and has a carved, decorative line running around the edge. The finish has become smooth in places.
