Pitcher

plain

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a rounded base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. 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 and gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. One side of the body appears dark gray/brown and porous, possibly from overfiring. Evidence of usewear includes residues/staining on the exterior. There is a black stain on bottom of base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base. No other numbers are visible on the object.
