Description

Globular body, swollen neck with flaring rim; two small vertical loop handles on shoulder; slightly painted. With a face on neck and breasts and arms in low relief.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 2 lug handles on the body, and a rounded base. The vessel has a molded/modeled face on the neck and raised breasts and arms in relief on the body. The features are painted with red and white and there is a semi-circle painted on the chest in red and white. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1900."
