This set of cups and plates should be drinking utensils, which are used for burial, and are a representation of the details of real life in the Tang Dynasty
This style of drinking utensils was quite popular in the Tang Dynasty. The number of small cups on the tray varied from five to seven. Its appearance reflects the level of pottery making in the Tang Dynasty. Because of its good plasticity, the molding methods of the Tang tri-colored tire mud are relatively rich, mainly including the bonding method (kneading method), the wheel method and the molding method. Some square or rectangular objects are mostly made of clay, such as ceramic pillows. Round vessels often use the wheel system method. The figures are molded. This set of cups and plates is made by wheel system. The rotation system appeared in the late Dawenkou culture of the primitive society, and was widely adopted in the late Liangzhu culture and Longshan culture. The method is to put the mud on the rotating wheel, and use its fast rotating power to lift and pull it by hand to form it. The shape of wheeled pottery is regular, the thickness is uniform, and there are parallel spiral lines on the surface and inside of the pottery (there are no spiral lines using the molding rule).
