About MeThis red stoneware bottle has a short neck, rolled rim and prominent loop handle springing from the upper body to the neck.
The exterior is glazed in a thick dark brown slip terminating above the base revealing the red clay body. It is decorated with a double band of cream slip rings around the shoulder.
