GLAZED ‘HU’ VASE

Description This globular vase folds towards the footless bottom with a slightly concave support. It has a high, curved neck with a flared rim. Two small handles are applied, diametrically opposed, between the shoulder and the upper part of the belly. Both are divided in half by a stripe and have dense, parallel incisions that converge as to evoke a handle of intertwined threads: at the bottom they present a raised and twisted ring, and they are crowned by two small elements shaped like a ram's horns. The surface of the vase is rather lumpy. Simple, decorative elements are only present in the upper half of the vase.
