Description

  • Height 11 1/2  in., 29.2 cm
well potted, the rounded body tapering to a knife-pared foot ring and rising to short straight rim, covered overall with a finely mottled deep brown-black glaze suffused with minute gold-toned flecks, stopping neatly at the foot and just below the mouth rim revealing the buff-colored ware, the interior applied with a thin semi-translucent dark brown glaze

Condition

The rim has two very faint hairline cracks, the longer measuring approx. 3.8 cm long, as well as a few minor shallow flake chips. The foot rim has a small chip, measuring approx. 0.6 cm wide. There are some general surface wear and minor firing imperfections, as can be expected.
