Description

Depressed angular body, bottle neck, twisted loop handle shoulder to neck. Black

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a squat-globular body, flaring neck, outward sloping rim, 1 twisted handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a raised animal figure on the shoulder opposite the handle. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1929."
