Fabric, firing, and surface description
Typical fabric (fine with varied inclusions but micaceous, pinkish hue), firing (hard), and surface description (somewhat thick, even slip; where visible orangish or reddish brown but mottled).
Preservation comment
Six joining sherds preserve most of discus, entire nozzle, entire base and adjacent walls. Slight, sparse abrasion and minor chipping around edges; slightly worn breaks; sparse patches of encrustation; overall very friable. Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
