Plate

Brown, White. Similar to 31089.

Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, flattened rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The plate has two protrusions along the rim on either edge. The plate is painted on the upper surface with a red circle at the center and a band of white around that. The rim is painted brown with white at the center of the protrusions. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. There is a fingerprint in white slip on the bottom of the plate from the person who painted it. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2388."
