Fabric, firing, and surface description
Light red fabric with a tinge or brown, fired gray on interior surface (1-3mm); darker red slip with grayer area from variable firing around one handle. Medium fine, hard; smooth break. Uncommon, well sorted, tiny light and dark bits; no visible mica. Thin, even, slightly lustrous(?) slip over interior and rim down below carination to mid-lower body.
Preservation comment
11 joining sherds preserve ca. 35% of rim and body with both handles. Slight, somewhat extensive abrasion and minor chipping around edges; worn breaks; thin, sparse, small patches of encrustation especially around handles.
