Description

Two fragments from one or two vessels

henceforth (a) and (b). (Coldstream 1972 only shows (a)

(b) seems to have been assigned to the same vessel by the old cataloguer; the match cannot be ascertained based on preserved parts of profile

section

and decoration; there is no obvious join

the angle of the everted lip of (b) seems higher than (a) and the lip slightly broader; if from two vessels

it is likely that they had a similar shape and decoration). (a) Composed of two fragments

glued together. Full profile preserved. Rounded rim

everted lip

round body profile

flat base. Semi-fine fabric

wheel-made. Entire surface (including base) covered in dark slip. (b) Rim and upper body fragment. Rounded rim
