Vase

Spherical body, bulging collar, flaring neck. Two loop handles shoulder to collar. Painted red-black-white.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel is painted with bands of vertical stripes in red, orange, white, black, and purple. The rim is painted with geometric designs in black and white. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is buff in color. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior and mottled black staining at the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1845."
