Description:   Lip fragment; one handle remains. Narrow rim gently convex on top; heavy horizontal handle, pressed close to rim.
Gritty, greenish-yellow clay. Unglazed.
This is a Fehlbrand, resulting from some accident in the kiln; its wall was crumpled while still soft by another pot falling against it. It suffered further by overfiring, which turned its clay black in places.
