Typical Middle Corinthian red lamp fabric, firing, and surface treatment: pale reddish, hard fired, surface tends to have dusty texture.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves ca. 15-18% of middle to front discus, back of nozzle, and small part of shoulder. Very slight, sparse pitting but surface mostly in good condition; sharp breaks; extensive, thin film of encrustation.
