| Description | Flat base, side slightly incurved with everted lip. Painted red, black and white. Bowl with a squat-cylindrical body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of geometric design around the exterior of the rim 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 orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1580." |
