- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Material obscured by weathering; buff fabric and pale orange(?) slip fired to dark brown on interior(?); fine; rare, tiny, well sorted, mostly light (lime) and rare dark bits (including very rare angular gray); densely sparkling surface (micaceous). Slip covers whole vessel down to slip.
