Certainly possible... think how far a step it is from an animal fat lamp
to a Fresnel lens...

Not trying to challenge you, why is it not a cup? Looks like it would
make a good drinking vessel... a bit on the smallish side...

BTW thanks for the links Gilligan. Very interesting reading.

I don't think it is either. It looks to me like a morter for grinding.

If the person was left handed I'd agree.

The cup fits in your right hand so well. It would
be uncomfortable to grind anything in it.
