Description:Base cup to a 3in Hotchkiss. These are very popular for use as little bowls or to re-attach to a shell because they frequently came off in firing. This is the type that had no flame grooves, but I have similar ones to this that do have flame grooves. Part of the top lip is missing which actually makes it easier to reattach to a piece that has the lead driving band (the part missing would go underneath the lead and bot be visible but is hard to get in there).
