Black topped red ware. Round base. Simple form. A catalogue card (written before 1997) states this is probably from Naqada. Inside the vessel is written 'Berens 45' '107/5 747' is written in black ink' near the base. The base has been previously broken and glued together. This particular example comes from the Berens collection. Randolph Humphery Berens, née McLaughlin (1844-1922) took the name Berens on his marriage in 1877 with Eleanor Frances. Both collected Egyptian antiquities. His collection was sold in Sotheby's on 18th June 1923. His wife's collection was sold on 29th July 1923 and 31st July 1923 (Bierbrier 1995, 42-43). As this item was sold on 18th June it must have belonged to Randolph Berens.
