Description

A wheel-made or hand-built round-bodied pot with a wide mouth and two loop handles rising above the rim, shown in side view on a pale surface. The body has a dark crack running down the left-centre and a horizontal break line around the lower belly, and the surface shows a mottled grey tone. A small piece of blue material sits beneath the base, and a paper label with handwritten numbers is at the lower left.
