Slightly incurving rim with flattened lip. Straight wall tapers downward toward spout.
Fabric, firing, surface
Slightly coarse, hard fabric with slightly granular break and rough surface; uncommon to common, small, angular and subangular, white inclusions (calcareous) with few larger, irregular chunks (limestone?), some spalling; frequent golden mica flakes, often visible on surface. Thick matte buff self-slip on all extant surfaces; one patch of thick excess slip. Micaceous southern Argolid LRA2 fabric but gritty, more utilitarian-grade.
