Jug

Red ware. Globular body, widely flaring neck, one loop handle shoulder to neck. Painted with pelicans. Red-white-black

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of design around the shoulder with stylized birds painted in orange, black, 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 and buff in color. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1857."
