Jar

Round bottom; sharp equator; neck near tulip form; two vertical loop handles at equator. Plain.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a carinated body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, 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 an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior and surface attrition on bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1623g."
