Description

Small, Pinnate Leaf Pattern

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, outward sloping rim, 1 strap handle on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The red/orange slipped with a painted geometric decoration (pinnate leaves) in black, red, orange, and white. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. 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: "2326."
