Description

Depressed with sharp shoulder; everted lip. Black.

Bowl with a squat-carinated body, flaring collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. 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 bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1610."
