low angle of a large cup in black clay, still leathery, with a short foot ring, rounded wide base, and then sharp angle in to a narrower lip. the teacup gorilla word mark is hand carved one word in slab serif caps above the other in a cursive script. The teacup e is lowercase and rotated slightly forward. The cup handle is a small ring sticking out the side.
