| Description | Cylindrical. Plain Cup or 'qero' with a cylindrical body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has a white slip?. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. 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 a porous area on the side of the body of grayish green discoloration, possibly from overfiring. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1647." |
