| Description | Painted Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, tapered collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted on the top half of the body and on the neck with geometric designs in white, black, and orange. There appears to be a roughly burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the base. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1161g" ?. |
