Fabric, firing, surface
Pale reddish orange fabric, fired slightly darker are all surfaces (2-3mm). Somewhat fine, slightly soft fabric; smooth to vaguely hackly break. Uncommon, small, well sorted inclusions, mostly subrounded to subangular, dark bluish gray rocky bits and red tabs, rare lime specks; rare, small, rounded pores. Traces of reddish brown to gray, thin(?), even, semimatte(?) slip.
Preservation description
One small sherd preserves 7-9% of rim and one entire handle. Extensive, moderate abrasion with severe chipping and gouging, widespread surficial erosion (flaking); very worn breaks; slight saline film. Weathering consistent with prolonged marine submersion.
