Description

Plain Center, Large, no handle

Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, flattened rim, no handles, and a flat base. The plate is painted red on the top surface and there is a brown/black geometric zigzag design around the rim. There are two protrusions on either side of the rim with indentations on the top side. 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: "2201."
