North America, Early American, ca. 1550–1750 CE. A hand-thrown earthenware storage vessel exhibiting the characteristic amber lead glaze and horizontal ribbing typical of early Spanish Colonial ceramic traditions in the Caribbean. The cylindrical form with slightly flared rim reflects utilitarian vessel types brought to the New World by Spanish settlers following first contact. The uneven glaze pooling toward the base, rough foot, and evidence of use wear are consistent with period manufacture and long burial or interment. Recovered in the Dominican Republic in the 1970s from a private collection assembled during a period of significant archaeological activity on the island of Hispaniola. Size: 3" D x 3.5" H (7.6 cm D x 8.9 cm H).

Provenance: ex-private collection, Fairhaven, Massachusetts, USA, collected from 2010 to 2015
