Rim with a trace of the handle, neck, and upper body of a jug. Rim is not quite round, may show the start of a trefoil mouth. Slightly outward tilted straight-sided neck, with sharply flaring shoulder of a finely potted squat jug. Neck has a series of vertical black wiggly lines made with a four-tipped multiple brush, black on a red slip. Horizontal lines, one at bend to shoulder, one just above. More of the same wiggly lines on shoulder, again in groups of four lines each. This brush had a wider gap in the middle, i.e., two brush heads and two more brush heads, all used together. Interior slipped.
