Description

red ware; flaring lip; two vertical loop handles. Painted with frog pattern in band.

Bowl with a squat-globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, 2 lug handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of geometric "frog" designs around the shoulder in white, black, red, and purple. There is another band of geometric design on the rim in black and white. 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "829."
