Description

This vessel has a lateral handle and a large filter with perforated geometric motifs. The decoration comprises thick wavy and circular lines framed between two bands filled with dots. The body and handle are painted. The pouring spout has been lost, but it appears to have been very large judging by the mark it has left on the body of the item. To date, there are no known identical items that combine filter and pouring spout, and that have such a wide mouth. It was very probably used to make and serve infusions.
