 This is another common everyday vessel, probably used as a seed jar. The clay is a rather coarse clay containing many fine grains of silica stone. The surface of the vessel was adjusted by shaving. The ware is extremely well finished, with a brownish-brown color, and the natural glaze applied from the shoulder to the body has a nightingale color.
This is one of the typical small vases of the 15th century.
