Slip rather thick: at late end of early glazed?

Fabric, firing, and surface description
Typical fabric (fine), firing (hard), and surface treatment (thick, even, deep to dark red slip). Clean, tight seem.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves small part of back right shoulder, entire handle from seem down, ca. 35% of back left wall, and small part of back of base. Slight, extensive abrasion; slightly worn breaks; sparse, slight encrustation especially in grooves.
