Description
Bottle fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It is globular with a cylindrical neck that narrows slightly in the middle. The rim is triangular, without a spout. It has a single handle from the neck to the belly, with a circular cross-section. The base is flat. The inner surface is glazed in a monochrome honey colour. On the outside, the glaze is decorated with manganese under the honey cover. It displays a concentric incised groove at the start of the belly.
