Description

Painted. Tri-colored: red, black, and white.

Wide mouthed vessel with a squat-globular body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of white with geometric designs painted on top in black, tan, and red. There appears to be a burnished 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1577."
