The "Wine Cup" by artist depicts a small, ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl is predominantly reddish-brown in color with a black band around the lower portion. The interior of the bowl is a uniform reddish-brown color. The bowl sits on a white surface and casts a shadow to the sides. The overall shape of the bowl is rounded, with a slight curve from the base to the rim. The bowl is photographed from a slightly elevated angle.
