Jar

Pottery. Globular body, tulip neck, two vertical loop handles on body. Polychrome: red-black-white. Spotted 8-pointed star around neck

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a red 8-point star around the neck decorated with white dots. There are additional geometric designs around the center of the body. 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. 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: "1850."
