Description

Wide mouthed, everted lip and vertical loop handles on body. With frog pattern. Painted in red-black-white.

Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, hyperboloid collar, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of geometric designs around the body in red, orange, white, and red. 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1839."
