Ronald W. Longsdorf, The Pottery Age: An Appreciation of Neolithic Ceramics from China, Circa 7000 BC - Circa 1000 BC, Hong Kong, 2020, pl. 77.


Ronald W. Longsdorf, 《陶誌:中國新石器時代陶器 約西元前7000年 – 前1000年》,香港,2020年,圖版77

The low centre of gravity of the cup, contributed by the rounded lower section tapering to a small base, would have lent the cup a higher sense of stability, even when filled. See a similar Qijia culture pottery cup, illustrated in Simon Kwan, Chinese Neolithic Pottery, Hong Kong, 2005, no. 108.
