Jug

Pottery. Spherical body, flaring neck; one loop handle, shoulder to neck. Painted with dotted stripes. Red-white-black.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, outward sloping rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with dotted vertical stripes in red, black, and white, over a band of orange around the body. The rim is painted with a curvilinear design in white and black. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The vessel is roughly burnished on the exterior. 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: "1868."
