Descriptions

Description
A small globular bottle with a long, straight neck. The body has been glazed with a crackled monochrome glaze with a crushed strawberry color. The interior of the foot is coated with a pale blue glaze and bears an oval sticker and a rectangular sticker. The footring is unglazed, and the neck has been cut or filed down so that the cross-section of the body and red glaze are visible.
