Bucket

This bucket, in coarse-fabric ceramic without glaze, is a Padua production datable between the end of the thirteenth and the beginning of the fourteenth century. It has a sub-cylindrical shape without foot, with a wall that tends to expand in the upper part and ends with a flattened rim. The grip for the handle is raised, trapezoidal in shape, with a hole executed before firing and with evident traces of wear. The external surface preserves carbonaceous encrustations and traces of sooting due to direct contact with fire, and is decorated with horizontal, vertical and oblique grooves. The interior is smooth, while the base presents concentric grooves; externally the base has a sanded effect due to the presence of sand grains. The dimensions are: height sixteen centimetres, maximum diameter twenty point five centimetres, base diameter seventeen centimetres. The state of preservation is fragmentary.

Incrostazioni carboniose, tracce di affumicatura e fondo con effetto sabbiato.
