Description

This is funnily fired pot - it seems to be a reddish-orange ware with many areas of blackening and also brownish fire clouds. There is an everted rim, a single vertical handle of the wide strap type*, a rounded body and a flat base. *(From the top of the rim to the area of maximum width at the waist of this globular body); there are four cracks from the rim to the shoulder area.
