Description
Bowl with rounded walls and everted rim, low ring foot. Rim has two light grooves, one where it turns from wall and one near lip. Short base has slight flaring outer face, inward sloping lower face and concentric offset separating it from lower face of floor.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Slightly pink, very fine fabric. Elongated voids visible on exterior surface. Thin, dark red slip is worn, largely missing on interior.
