Description
Ceramic object fired in reducing conditions, wider than tall, with the lip turned outwards and an oblique rim. It has an ovoid profile and a spout. Proof of its utility is the remains of the action of combustion and, although it has been identified as a greixera, it is also called a pot in general. The greixera, fired with the oxidizing-reducing technique, presents mostly limestone inclusions and golden particles visible on the surface, where the outer walls are burnished in a grey hue. Owing to the characteristics of the piece, it may have been produced locally. It would have a tape-shaped handle opposite the spout, supposedly almost from the mouth to the middle of the body. The base is flat, thickened near the contact with the walls and thinner in the middle. As decoration and marking the central body, there is an incised line.
