Black and red goblet with a conical vertical profile, a slightly restricted mouth, simple lip and a flat and narrow base. Both surfaces were heavily burnished, a treatment that left strong horizontal markings on the inner surface. The burnish of the outer surface, which is neater, was applied over a a punctated "dents de loup" design ("wolf's teeth" motif) that is only visible in certain areas. It is likely that this preliminary decoration was made in order to enhance a rippled effect which was eventually not achieved by the craftsman.

Gobelet rouge et noir de profil vertical conique, à ouverture très légèrement rétrécie, lèvre simple et base étroite plate. Les deux faces ont fait l'objet d'un vigoureux polissage qui a laissé de fortes marques horizontales sur la face interne. Sur la face externe, où il est plus soigné, il a été réalisé au-dessus d'un décor ponctué de dents de loup qui n'est plus perceptible que par endroits. Il est vraisemblable que ce décor préliminaire avait pour but de favoriser la réalisation d'un effet ridé auquel l'artisan n'est pas parvenu.
