Distinctive Features

The general type has a long cylindrical body with two small handles on the side and a flaring rim. Maña (1951) distinguished two types, labelled C1 and C2 but van der Werff (1978) has reviewed the evidence and divided the form into three categories: his Form 1 has a widely flaring rim thickened on the underside and sometimes with a pronounced flange on the outer face of the rim. Handles are attached on the upper third part of the body. The tubular foot is elongated and hollow. This type corresponds to the Martin-Kilcher (1999) forms A1-6 and to the Ramón T-7.4 (1995) type.
