1960s: joined with natural shellac and infilled with white plaster painted dark gray.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Buff with a tinge of red, consistently fired; slightly soft, fine fabric; uncommon, small to medium, poorly sorted, subangular and subrounded lime chunks, few spalling; rare angular black bits. Thick, even, semilustrous slip fired black, over whole outside body down to ridge at 4 cm above base, over lip and just into upper neck; bottom reserved. Turning grooves spiralling up exterior; excess clay and scraping across neck before firing. Corinthian?
Preservation comment
16 joining and one non-joining fragments preserve almost complete vessel but missing lower wall. Moderate, somewhat extensive abrasion with scoring and gouging; worn breaks; no excrustation (but cleaning in conservation).
