Description

Feeder vase. Buff clay with unevenly applied black glaze. Part of the bevelled foot is missing. The high foot changes without marked transition into a rounded body suggestive of a teapot. The pouring spout is short and thick-walled. The rim around the filling hole is very slightly set below the main body of the vessel. The handle rises from the rim behind the pouring spout to the rim on the opposite side of the filling hole. Its shape is irregular; it has a deep groove down the center and applied button-like knobs at the ends.
