Thin lustrous black pottery was made by Neolithic cultures of the Dawenkou and Longshan phases in the area of present day Shandong province in northeastern China. A similar black pottery cup was excavated at a Dawenkou culture site in Juxian, Shandong province, and was published in Kaogu xuebao, 1991, No.2, pl. VIII:2. Compare, also, the cup with similar bowl but slightly different stem illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol. 10, fig. 53, p. 163, as well as a cup illustrated by Margaret Medley, The Chinese Potter, 1976, fig. 12
