Stoneware Crucible

Approximately half of a light gray-bodied and very small stoneware crucible. The crucible is likely an underfired crude stoneware or possibly a coarse earthenware with a light gray paste. The crucible is slightly stained but does not appear to have been used. The vessel likely had a triangular-mouth although only the base and portions of the body remain.
