| Description | Similar to 31093, Broken Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, flattened rim, 1 strap handle from the rim to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The plate is painted black on the top surface with black and white stripes on the handle. There is an incised cross on the bottom of the base, possibly a maker's mark. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2214." |
