Conservation
1960s: sherds rejoined with shellac and full restoration with white plaster painted light brown.
Description
Bowl or cup with flaring, very thin wall, high rim, and short ring foot. Slight inverted rim has tooled band on exterior, groove and very light rouletting just beneath. Short ring foot offset from wall and well formed with sharp angles, slightly flaring. Light, semicircular depression at center of lower face of base. Slipped on all surfaces.
Fabric, firing, surface
Material typical for ware: Very fine, pale fabric. Dark red slip worn on all nearly all extant surfaces, though original gloss preserved in small patches on exterior.
Preservation comment
Four joining sherds preserve full profile, complete base, and ca. 70% of body and rim. Slight, extensive abrasion and scattered chipping; clean breaks. Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
