Each molded with a slightly flared lip around the shallow curving well and supported on a carefully cut foot ring, the densely mottled russet and black glaze enlivened with five large russet splashes and showing minute silver patches throughout, the glaze extending onto the curving walls and stopping short of the foot ring to expose the buff fabric.
