Description

Small, a mate to the plate 36719

Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, flat rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The plate has two protrusions on either side of the rim and is painted red with a central circle of white outlined in black. 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: "2203."
