There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing and reducing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange/red in color. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1177h." |
