Hi Sajen,
Hippo teeth can't be that big either (compared to Elephant ivory); nor do they demonstrate a consistently circular cross section . Can we call Hippo marine ivory ??  I would still posit that being carved from a smaller tooth it would unavoidably include some of the exterior topography of the source .  Hide it under the cup, no ?
