Description | Painted, flaring. Bowl with a flaring body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with red at the interior with black double curved lines on the interior of the rim. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and is smoothed with a rotative movement 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 surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1626." |
