2 hrs confidence: 
curved sides Explanation: My feeling is that cups are more often described - at least in everyday speech - as having "sides" rather than "walls" Designed in a relatively deep shape for the enjoyment of frothy cappuccino, this seven-ounce Gourmet Collection cup features smoothly curved sides and an angular handle. http://www.amazon.com/Rosenthal-Gourmet-Collection-Cappuccin... |

peer agreement (net): +1curved walls Explanation: Four-sided jar with curved walls, shaped corners and four feet. Each side is hand-painted with a floral pattern in purple, pink, green, and yellow underglaze, outlined in black and accented with dots of gilt. The four-sided lid has four heart-shaped pierced openings and a flower-shaped finial. It is hand-painted with flowers in pink and green underglaze, outlined in black. The feet, corner ornaments, rim, and finial are all gilded. http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CIS... High ring foot supports the light, deeply curved walls of this broad-mouthed bowl, lip straight and unglazed, walls marked with five raised character Fu (prosperity), in underglaze blue block script, base with four character seal script mark. http://www.cultural-china.com/chinaWH/html/en/31Arts701.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-09-08 17:24:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Have been trying to post this for ages - problems with the internet?

A private Japanese collection housed the Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain charger that is Lot 203. The masterfully painted platter has a palm-like plant at its center surrounded with fruit, squash and blossoms on vines. Lotus blossoms encircle all. A diaper pattern band at the rim adds even more finesse. Almost 16 inches in diameter, the 14th Century charger is an impressive addition to any collection at about $70,000. Other porcelains and pottery in the sale include a rare Yuan Dynasty underglaze decorated yuhu, Lot 201, expected to fetch upwards of $25,000, and a fine Yuan blue and white bowl, Lot 202, expected to command around $20,000. In a category of its own is the Tang Dynasty Libation cup, Lot 203, carved of white marble. Extremely rare and finely rendered with thin walls and a snarling dragon snout, the 5-inch tall gem carries a catalog estimate of $25,000. Both Chinese and Japanese tradition favor ivory carvings and nowhere is there more variety than in this auction. http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/53133/ This is the technical term and thus fits the tenor of your text. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 189 days (2010-03-17 13:55:24 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I have since discovered that Wandung is very often also translated as 'body' in such a context, so thought I'd just add that in here.
