Jar

A small, rounded stoneware jar with a short flared rim, its dark brown glaze brushed over with broad cream slip strokes that sweep around the body. The lower section and foot are left pale and unglazed, showing the clay body.

Look closer: Small pale wear marks and a glaze drip along the inner rim are visible at the top edge of the jar.
