Description

Handle, Similar to 31083

Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, inward sloping rim, 1 strap handle on the rim, and a flat base. The handle is shaped like a loop with both ends attaching to the rim at the same location. The plate is painted with a geometric design on the handle, a band of geometric design around the rim, and a central band of a geometric design down the center in red, white, and black. 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: "2372."
