| Description | Plain Pot Cooking pot (olla) with a globular body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, 2 horizontal strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has a red slip (?). There appears to be a smoothed 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 in black ink on the bottom of the base… but also has the number "27508" written in black ink on the base as well. Traces of black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1048." |
