Vessel

Black double vessel with bird and whistle, bird on whistle neck

Narrow necked whistling vessel with a double-chambered globular body, hyperboloid neck, flattened rim, 1 bridge handle extending between the necks, and a flat base. There is a modeled/molded bird sitting on top of one of the neck that serves as a whistle. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink on the base. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2787."
