Description

neck and handle broken off

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, missing neck, missing rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a circle around the neck that has a stepped triangle design connected on one side of the body in red, outlined in black and white. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1151c."
