Rim and floor fragment.

Broad rim with moulded overhang. Corinthian tile fabric, smooth buff slip. Outer edge of rim glazed red; alternating bands of red and black on overhang. Grit added to center of floor.

For the full shape see the restored drawing of an example in Corinth, C-34-931: Hesperia, VI, 1937, p. 296, fig. 28, 174. An Agora piece, P 6533 E 13:1, noted op. cit., p. 297, is close but lacks the base. Bases for the type are high and spreading, often with the upper surface grooved and with decoration in black and red. On one Agora fragment, P 16433 H 18:1-L, glazed triangles ornament the junction between base and stand. The stems are finished smooth and may carry stripes or bands of glaze; cf. op. cit., p. 293, fig. 25, 174-175; also P 24229.
