Potter: Unknown
Reddish fritware, probably mould made, painted in blue under a transparent turquoise pitted and cracked glaze.
Shape: rolled rim on a straight neck, an inverted pear-shaped body with a ridge at the mid point where it was joined from two pieces. Sits on a low foot ring
Exterior: both the neck diagonal crosses are filled either with dots. On the neck and body diagonal lines form lozenge patterns that are filled with either horizontal lines in the shape of triangles or diamonds which possibly imitate tassel marks. Glaze runs unevenly over the lower body, leaving the rim of the foot ring uncovered but covering the underside.
Interior: undecorated except for the turquoise glaze, covers the surface unevenly.
