Preservation comment
Four large joining sherds preserve ca. 30% of vessel, including large part of rim and floor and nearly intact base. Moderate, extensive abrasion, slight erosion and pitting mostly on outside, flaking glaze, and minor chipping around base; somewhat worn breaks. Single clean, small perforation in wall: mending?
