Description by Michael Welch:  #12 One-half to two-thirds handle with a small amount of jar pottery remaining on the bottom.  Pottery color is brownish pink with whitish grits throughout, and a black core.  Some iron staining is on the jar pottery.  On the bottom of the jar pottery, some of the potter's wheelmarks remain.  Bears probably a H2D type impression.  The only other possibility is the G2B type.  On the top out of LMLK, traces of the initial Lamed remain, with most of the second Lamed still there.  Out of HBRN on the bottom, no letters remain.  About one-half to two-thirds of the two-winged emblem remains with an outline of the circle in the center.  There is an old black ink #23 from a previous collection on the bottom.
