No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has a white slip (?) and is painted with geometric designs in red, purple, black, 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.
