Description

Bowl-Shaped Vessel with Foot

One footed Cooking pot (olla) with a squat body with inverted walls, no neck/collar, flanged rim, 1 horizontal strap handle on the body, and a footed base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has a raised curved line on the front of the body and evidence of red paint. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2338."
