Description

A wheel-made jug with a flared rim, a tall neck and a rounded body on a low foot, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. Dark painted bands run around the shoulder and body, and the neck carries triangular and zigzag motifs in dark paint with light areas. The pale surface shows fine crazing and some wear to the paint.
