| Description | Head broken off. Similar to 31115 Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, inward sloping rim, 1 missing handle on the rim, and a flat base. The plate is painted white on the top surface with geometric designs in red and brown/black through the center. There are two protrusions on one side of the rim and possibly a handle on the other side that has broken off. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished 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: "2366." |
