Description: | A finely made flanged bowl, with 'long drooping flange and no bead'. Only one large sherd remains (weighing 112g). The wheelmade rim has been very highly finished and has a very smooth surface. The rim has been measured on a rim chart, the result suggests that this bowl would have had a diameter of approximately 222mm, which further suggests that this vessel is a flanged bowl, as apposed a dish or platter. The rim overhangs and almost 'umbrellas' from the side of the main body of the vessel. The rim also tapers (getting thinner) further away from the main body of the vessel. The actual terminal of the rim has been pinched creating a uniform ridge around the rim. The rim has a very thin section at the terminal it measures 4.5mm in thickness, at the join of the rim and the body the section measures 8.9mm (to allow for such an elaborate rim form). The main section of the vessel measures 6.1mm. The body of the vessel curves from under the rim to form an elegant concave bowl. The clay does has have some very small mica inclusions
