Jug

Spherical body, flaring neck, one vertical shoulder to neck handle. Painted with frogs. Painted in red-white-black

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of criss-cross designs around the center of the body in black, white, and orange and a band of stylized "frog" design around the shoulder in red, white, black, orange, and purple. 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. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1824."
