Description

Body tapering to flat base; neck tapering; one loop handle shoulder to neck. Black. With a face on neck and arms in relief on body.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with an ovate body, tapered neck, missing rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a molded/modeled face on the neck with large ears/ear spools, eyes, nose, and mouth. There are two arms in relief on the body and rests on a protrusion in the body. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1924."
