The outside of the attachment between the foot and the floor preserves tool marks covered in slip and also a single incised tool mark arount the exterior that is unslipped. The inside of the attachment is smoothed and slipped. In the center of the floor on the exterior, a mark (perhaps a maker's mark?) is is incised offset from the center, in the shape of an X.
