The body has a deep bowl with three solid legs, with a horizontal flange all around, and two thick S-shaped handles are attached to the body's rim. It is fully glazed on the exterior whereas the interior is unglazed. Glaze has developed iridescence due to long time burial. Originally with a lid.

Size: Diameter 20 cm, height 15.5 cm

Condition: Burial ware, repair to one of the legs (see last photo), glaze in good condition

SKU: 184
