Tricolor Pottery Cups and Tray

The cups and tray are a drinking set used as burial objects. Such set was quite popular during the Tang dynasty. The number of the cups was generally five to seven. Based on the fine plasticity of the pottery clay, vessels can be shaped by various methods. This set was shaped on a rotating wheel. The wheel-made pottery vessels have regular shape and even thickness of wall, with parallel spiral tracks on the outer and inner surfaces.
