face. Slip-covered portions are coated with amber 

 glaze by sifting on powdered galena (lead sulphide). 

 Containers which are slipped externally are glazed 

 externally and internally. Slip and glaze do not 

 cover lower portions of jugs, but run down unevenly. 

 Color: Slipped surfaces are white where exposed 

 without glaze. Unglazed surfaces are a dull terra 

 cotta. The glaze varies in tone from honey color to 

 a dark greenish amber. When applied over the slip, 

 the glaze ranges from lemon to a toneless brown- 

 yellow, or, at best, a sparkling butter color. When 

 applied directly over the paste and over the incised 

 and abraided designs, the glaze appears as a rich 

 mahogany Ijrown or dark amber.
