Description | Globular body; neck bulging, collared. Painted red and black on white ground. Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with geometric "bird" designs around the shoulder in orange, white, and black. There appears to be a burnished 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1834." |
