The convex area is reserved except for a solid circle of glaze, which shades from dark brown on the outside to orange in the center. Interior glazed. Glaze: streaky and uneven, but shiny. Clay: hard and fairly smooth, body yellow orange in hue, lighter and shiny on the exterior. Munsell nos.: body, 7.5 YR 7/4 (pink); exterior, 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown).
