Description: | Class B II (Glazed, completely coated ware) according to Blegen (Zygouries); similar to Z226 in shape, though much smaller. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 92) | |
Decoration: | Incised decoration: Two parallel horizontal lines close together, made by a succession of oval impressions, form a belt around the vase; from this band a group of four similar parallel lines extends upward along the underside of the spout; and at irregular intervals around the body, groups of three parallel lines in the same technique run up to the rim. There were probably three such groups on each side between the handle and the spout. Slipped and coated with lustrous reddish brown glaze, worn badly. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 92) | |
