object type: buff fritware, probably wheel thrown, coated in black slip, carved under a dull, crazed and lightly pitted turquoise glaze.
Shape: inverted pear shaped jar with everted rim, cylindrical neck and a low foot ring
Exterior: the rim is coated in a black slip; while on the neck the black slip is carved to form a repeating frieze of curved lozenges and half lozenges with central dots. On the shoulder, a frieze of Arabic script (kufic) is interspersed with scrolling foliage. The body is covered with vertical lines alternating in thickness. The glaze runs unevenly over the very lowest sections of the body, not always covering the black underlying slip.
Interior: The turquoise glaze continues over the interior but only thinly coats the surface below the neck.
