1960s: joining with shellac and patching with white plaster painted gray.
Description
Small dish with flaring walls and low ring foot. Overall effect is near Hayes Form 29, though exterior profile has sharper corners and the base is wider and shorter than typical for that form. Low flaring rim turns outward at upper edge to beaded lip. Lip overhangs a flaring exterior wall with straight face; inner face has slight tooling that separates lip from wall and curves down two slight offsets that create band between inner wall and floor. Two concentric grooves around center, inner is very slight and outer almost rouletted in parts, with more distinct forming of rouletting marks in one extant stretch. Ring foot is very low with slight tooling on exterior face to separate it from floor; interior face is nearly vertical with slight concavity.
Two joining sherds preserve 40-50% of body and ca. 25% of rim. Slight to moderate, somewhat extensive abrasion with minor scratching; slip flaking in patches; worn breaks. Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
