26.12.30 The inside of the cone is reserved. Bottom of bowl inside is brown, probably because another base was placed inside it for firing. Heavy faine (?).
45.6.37 Streaky black glaze applied through dipping, so that a reserved band remains in the middle of the body. Reserved also on resting surface, interior face of foot, and underside. Streaky appearance and reserved section of belly suggest the presence of kiln supports during firing, as found on the example in Toronto (see discussion of dating, below). Black on the interior of the mouth.
79.1.13 Black glaze all over, redish in places probably due to firing.
REDMG:1934.51.8 Black glaze all over, although patchy (perhaps as a result of poor firing) on the lower part of the body and foot.
REDMG:1953.25.2 Glazed black all over except on the reserved underside, including resting surface. A large gouge (blown out from the firing process) mars the lower body.
REDMG:1964.1656.1 Mouth has a flat rim and a thin neck. Body is widest around shoulder height. Foot flares out from stem to a flat base. Traces of black on body, suggesting it may once have been glazed (?) Some traces of red on body which may be the result of firing or remains of painted design.
