The surfaces are beautifully burnished with mottled red surfaces, an incised centipede-like character which originally identified the owner or perhaps family, on one side. H: 11 1/4 in (28.6 cm). Intact with a few age cracks near rim. These vessels are extremely rare with any kind of personal markings such as this one possesses. Ex Orange County private collection.
