Description

This is a small orange orange-ware restricted vessel which is similar to a globular mug in shape. it has a very slightly flaring rim, a pronounced ridge in the middle of its body, and a very low carination immediately above the rounded base. (This low carination is the point of greatest width on this vessel). There is one vertical handle which runs from the rim to the mid-body ridge. The vessel feels coarse and sandy. A number of areas of concretion remains.
