Description

Small. Plain. Flaring.

Bowl with a flaring body, no neck/collar, no rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with semi-circles in black on the interior of the rim. 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: "1633a."
