Description

A globular jug with a tall narrow neck, flaring rim and single loop handle rising from neck to shoulder, standing on a low ring foot. Its surface shows many cracks from breakage and repair, with a few pale patches where material is missing. It is photographed alone against a plain pale background, with handwritten marks on the card mount below.
