Cup

This tall ceramic stemmed glass handmade and carried out by oxidising firing, has several special characteristics, such as its large size, the mamelons around the upper part of the glass and the square form of its stem resting on a circular convex base. The glass forms part of the typical crockery that was used in El Argar settlements in the South-East of the peninsula. This crockery was made up of bowls, basic, carinated pots and truncated cone-shaped vessels. These objects were used in domestic kitchens and also as funerary pieces in the burial sites located under the ground of the dwellings. The specific context of the piece is not well known, although we know that its comes from an El Argar settlement in Cerro de la Encima.
