Fabric, firing, and surface description
Fabric: pale yellow; fine, soapy texture; rare, subangular, small white chunks (lime?). Hard firing. Surface smoothed in places. Mostly clean seam but upper and lower halves slightly offset.
Preservation comment
Intact but missing upper nozzle. Slight, sparse abrasion and small chips around edges; worn breaks; heavy patch of coarse encrustation on bottom. Burning around nozzle from use.
