Comments
:
Decoration is fine grooves only 0.5 mm apart in spiral or concentric circle pattern. The surface is divided by a beltline 2.5 mm wide into upper and lower hemispheres. The upper hemisphere has horizontal circles but the lower one has vertical circles, really half-circles because they stop at the beltline. The opening is not just split but carefully made with constant width and square cut ends. In Thailand.
