The vessel is painted red around the rim with dots and stripes in white, black, and red. 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. There are striations at interior from smoothing tool. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1079g." |
