- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- So far as can be observed through the overfiring: Fabric: buff with tinges of pink and yellow; uncommon, well sorted, subrounded, small, calcareous and very rare, medium small, angular, gray inclusions. Slip: white underslip, thin, across outside and patchy inside lamp; overslip thick, even, orangish red slip, semilustrous but fired to metallic sheen across top. Overfired so that large part of fabric and slip are dark gray.
- Preservation comment
- Three joining sherds preserve ca. 50% of discus and back to left shoulder, attachments of handle, and most of base with adjacent wall. Slight, sparse abrasion and rare pitting and scratching; slightly worn breaks; specks of encrustation.
