2008.7.157 Interior: grey-black wash. Exterior: greyish-black wash with a brassy-coloured metallic sheen overpainted. 11 smallish oval shapes in a horizontal line engraved across the middle of the fragment.
58.2.2 Brown paint on lip, one line halfway down neck, two round edge of shoulder. Incised lines around body. Small depression in centre of base. Small metallic particles in clay.
REDMG:1935.87.15 Metallic black glaze except reserved band where body joins foot, slightly streaked above; reserved underside.
REDMG:1951.132.1 Metallic black gloss on entire surface (dipped) except for reserved (and ruddled) upper part of foot and underside, including resting surface. In addition to moulded mask, and ribbed shoulder decoration (see above), incised (although glazed) cross under spout.
REDMG:1951.133.1 The surface is treated with a metallic black glaze, applied more casually (streaky) on the lower part of the body; reserved band just above foot and reserved (matte grey) underside except for a black concentric circle. There is a single incised concentric circle in the tondo. The iridescence and matte grey areas suggest that the lower part of the vase was (inadvertently?) exposed to (too much) heat, either in the factory or afterwards.
REDMG:1953.25.40 Metallic black glaze all over except on reserved resting surface and inside of foot.
