| Description | Similar to 31029 Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, 1 effigy-zoomorphic handle on the rim, and a flat base. The plate is painted red on the top surface and has a brown painted rim with white and brown painted handle. There is an hourglass shaped maker's mark (?) incised on the bottom of the base. 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: "2370." |
