Jug

Red ware. Globular body, tapering neck; one large tubular loop handle shoulder to mid-neck. Painted Black and while on red slip

Narrow necked jug with a globular body, tapered neck, missing rim, 1 hollow handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. There is a hole in the handle, possibly a whistle. The vessel is painted with vertical stripes and fields of dots in red, orange, white, and black. 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. There is high polish on the exterior. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base. Pencil marks on the bottom of the base reads: "998."
