DATE:  AD 1350 to 1450 (Lanmon & Harlow, 2008;63)   

BOWL DESIGN PLACEMENT: Primary interior designs often with secondary exterior designs that may be in a band or units.

KEY DIFFERENCES:  Thick often runny glaze paint on an all white slip. 

COMMENTS: Early and middle period Pinnawa Glaze-on-White slip is usually well polished and shiny, late period examples have a slip and paste that is often coarse like Matsaki types and is usually a pale gray. Glaze paint may be black or green, sometimes, if the glaze paint erodes away there may be a purple stain left in its place.

2N This Pinnawa Glaze-on-White jar has two prehistorically drilled holes opposite of each other for suspension. The bird track painted at the top exhibits a "pink" ring around it.  Occasionally, the kaolin white paint or slip next to glazed paint will exhibit a soft pink color stain. The glaze paint during firing actually bleeds producing the attractive pink stain.
