Description

Long necked vase with a carinated body, missing neck, missing rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with geometric "incasic" designs in orange white, and black. There are two rows of triangles on either side of the body. The triangles have a criss-cross design in them in black. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2316."
