Description: Moldmade. Ring handle with two grooves on upper part. Shoulder: Loeschcke form VIII b, with a row of double ovolos. Almost central filling-hole. Air hole facing the heart-shaped nozzle. Underneath, a row of small dotted circles. Base with a band marked off by two circular grooves and a narrow additional inner one; within this band three evenly spaced incised ovo-patterns; small dotted circle toward the nozzle.
