Description

Flat base, Y-necked. Black bottle with connected curved handle and spout at top

Stirrup necked jug with a globular body, no neck/collar, pointed rim, 1 stirrup handle on the body, and a rounded base. There is a modeled double lobed protrusion on the spout. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. There are burnish lines clearly visible and not complete. The bottom of the base is not burnished. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2797."
