Description | Pottery. Body tapering to small flat base; rim incurved; two rings of stamped circles encircling upper body. Bowl with an ovate body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is red slipped with two rows of incised/stamped circles around the shoulder. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and is smoothed with a rotative movement on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is red and gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. There are striations visible on the interior surface. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1341." |
