Description

Flat base, cylindrical neck; two small vertical loop handles on body. Plain with a face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, hyperboloid neck, missing rim, 2 lug handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face with ears and nose. The figure has modeled arms holding something up to the mouth. The vessel was originally painted. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1902."
