Bottle

Small painted bottle, depressed body with one vertical handle, cylindrical neck, painted

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle on the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has an orange slip (?) and is painted red, white and black around the neck and handle. 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. There are impressions on the bottom possibly from textile imprints. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink on the bottom of the base. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "3239."
