English term or phrase: cordoned urn
Gradually, cremation became popular once more, and the burnt bones were placed in large decorated pots called urns, which were inverted in the graves. Different types of urns – Vase, Encrusted, Collared and Cordoned – were used, and in some cases, Food Vessels and tiny vessels called Incense Cups were placed with them

German translation:Urne mit (umlaufender) Kordelverzierung
Explanation:
Aus veröffentlichten Abbildungen (s. u.) ist zu schließen, dass Urnen mit umlaufender Kordelverzierung gemeint sind. (Die Umwicklung mit Kordeln diente offenbar ausschließlich dekorativen Zwecken.)

Cordoned urns
The profile of the Benderloch urn differs somewhat from the typical simple cylindrical or barrel shape, having a more sinuous tripartite profile and slightly flared mouth. Tripartite urns ***decorated***
with two cordons are well represented in the archaeological record and date to the second millennium BC.
