Casgliadau Arlein

Inkwell, unglazed earthenware, squat, bottle-shape body with circular base, the sides flaring slightly to a distinct shoulder, circular mouth with a thickened, short neck, possibly formed by folding over the clay at leather hard stage; the clay is light grey-orange in colour with fine grit inclusions, the surface is roughly smoothed and some thumbprints are still visible on the surface, an uneven firing has created patches of orange-coloured 'bloom' on the body, there are possible traces of glaze on the rim and just below the shoulder, but these may not be deliberate.
