Apparently the vessels were rather squat, with incurved sides, and short vertical necks. Both long and short spouts occur. Distinctively, the spouts were of the supported type. The supports vary from roughly shaped pegs to well-finished ribbons of clay wider than the spout (fig. 18, a to g).

A very few unsupported spouts occur in this FiGUKE 14.—Polychrome (Cream-white slip) sharply inturned side bowls with heavy rims. Gadrooned vessels.—A few sherds, apparently from bowls with both curved and incurved sides, are known in this ware only. No complete examples of this form were recovered in 1940. Vases with annular base.—This form type does not approximate the tall slender Fine Orange shapes, as defined by Vaillant (Merwin and Vaillant, 1932, p. 80), but is much nearer that of a Cerro Montoso Polychrome type illustrated by Strebel (1885-1889, vol. 2, pi. 9, 13). This is not a typical Tres Zapotes Polychrome shape, and is mentioned only because one restorable pear-shaped vase with an annular base (a typical Fine Orange form) was recovered in 1939 (pi. 24, c), and a fragment of a similar annular base was found in 1940 (trench 1). 504315—43 1.
