Jar

Shouldered, with wide flaring neck; two vertical loop handles on body. Painted on upper body and neck.

Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted on the shoulder and collar with a chevron design in red and white. There appears to be a 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 from smoothing tool visible at interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1878."
