Description

Body tapering to flat base; slightly tapering neck; one twisted handle shoulder to neck with two small knobs on opposite sides of body. Black.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a carinated body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has two raised bumps on the shoulder opposite the handle. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere with localized oxidation as the ceramic paste is gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1609."
