Description | Deep bowl or 'Cazuela' with a squat-globular body, no neck/collar, flanged rim, 2 horizontal strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with horizontal bands of color in orange, black, red, 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. There is a maker's mark incised on one side of the body. There is discoloration on the base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2345." |
