Pictures of number
17-18 sherd illustrated in the article above
17 and 18 are two of the
so-called 'raspberry' cups. No. 17 only has been completely restored, but it is
not certain whether it had a second handle; in fairly thin fabric with traces of
red colour-coating surviving, this cup has a very slight everted rim. No. 18,
again red colour-coated, has a heavier, slightly beaded rim. The 'raspberry'
palettes are of identical size in both cases (c. 12 mm dia.), but other sherds
have larger palettes (c. 17 mm dia.). There are also fragments of rim-less
'raspberry' cups with a slight cordon below the top of the cup demarcating the
zone below which the 'raspberry' palettes have been applied.
