Jug

Round bottom; nearly cylindrical neck; one loop handle shoulder to neck plain with human face. Similar to an owl face. On neck featured applied.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a rounded base. The vessel has a modeled (applique) face on the neck that includes only ears, eyes, and nose. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange and buff 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: "259."
