Pot

Globular body; collared; narrow rim. Painted. Tri-colored, red-black-white.

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 with a geometric pattern ("bird pattern") around the shoulder in white, black, and orange. The collar is also painted with a curvilinear design in red, 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 buff and orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1838."
