DescriptionRound, wheel-thrown, brown stoneware jar with a round foot, sides that taper from top to bottom, and a narrow rim with three semi-circular lobes cut into the ceramic. The jar (.a) also has a small rim, in the shape of a semi-circle. The jar is covered with a mottled glaze in earth tones on the exterior and with a light white or green glaze on the interior. An irregular line of scalloped reddish-brown glaze circles the outside of the jar.
