| Description | Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, cylindrical collar, rounded rim, and a missing base. The vessel is painted on the collar and top half of the body with a geometric design in red and white. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. 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 striations visible on the interior surface. The catalogue number is written on the interior. Black ink on the interior reads: "3274c." |
