Description
Wide mouthed vessel with an ovate body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. There appears to be a scraped 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 buff in color. There are striations visible on the exterior surface. There is a patch done to a hole pre-firing on the side of the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1161e."
