Most bullaun basins have a gradual, smooth widening towards the top of the basin, as if they were carved in a mortar and pestle fashion rather that a hammering or chiselling. Most are hemi-spherical, but I doubt the non-enhanced-natural ones were totally ground out. Much easier to chisel them out and then grind them. As for straight sides, don't forget this one - http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]ages/glassamucky_mountain.html - which I think is one of the oldest of them all*. And the conical ones in Carlow. Personally, I'd say it was a bullaun. If it was in Ireland it would definitely be classed as one. *Just a gut feeling.
