Description

The vessel has a modeled face including coffee bean eyes, nose, ears, and mouth with chin. There are two small modeled hands added to the body below the neck. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom of base. The catalogue number is written in black ink on the interior of the neck. black ink on the interior of neck reads: "2706."
