Description: Unworked lip with short, vaguely听funnel-shaped mouth. At junction of funnel and neck is a closed tubular fold. It is hollow on the inside but appears as an added coil from the exterior. Relatively tall cylindrical neck with abrupt transition to globular body. Rounded base. Original color obscured by听.听Much flaking. Blown.

Comment: Vessberg 1953,听pl. 58, no. 110;听Hayes 1975,听no.听146;听Constable-Maxwell Collection听1979,听lot 125;听and Stern 2001,听nos. 37, 38 and 103: all belong to Isings Form 70听and all have similar bodies to this flask.听The rims of all of these vessels, however,听are folded downwards, whereas the fold in the rim of this flask creates a ridge.听The dating of this vessel is based on the dates of the examples above and Isings鈥� remarks on the form.听This stylistic variation is slight enough that this flask could easily have been made in the same area as any of the examples cited.听The rim of Davidson 1952,听no. 796, which dates to the 15th century C.E. or later, is also comparable, as is Weinberg and Stern 2009 G 16, which dates to the 16th to 17th century C.E.听
