Pot

Top shaped with flattened base. bulging neck, everted lip; two vertical loop handles shoulder to neck. White painted fret? on shoulder.

Wide mouthed vessel with an ovate body, bulging collar, outward sloping rim, 2 cord (round cross-section) handles on the collar to body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The painted decoration is not visible due to loss and fading. There appears to be a smoothed 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1628g."
