Plate Or Bowl.
P 8591 a, b
Fragment of foot and lower wall (a); fragment of floor (b).
Low ring foot with angular profile; narrow resting surface. Parts of kiln supports embedded in floor and underside of fragment a. Very pale brown, porous fabric (ca. 10YR 8/3) with small, dark red inclusions; moss green vitreous glaze with crazing.
Same ware as 1796. Analysis indicates glaze is calcium-sodium silicate. For Mesopotamian glazed ware see Debevoise 1934; Dura IV, i, i; and Ikaros II, i, pp. 13--44. For the ring foot see Debevoise 1934, nos. 192, 194, 206, 207, pp. 80--83; Antioch IV, i, p. 80, pl. XIV:1027a:J. For kiln supports, typical of this ware, see ibid., p. 80, fig. 42:1, 2 and Debevoise 1934, p. 14, pl. V, fig. 1.
