Origin of incised¹

First recorded in 1590–1600; incise + -ed ²

Some are beautifully polished and ornamented with incised work.

Others from the same city were ornamented by incised lines rubbed in with white chalk, in which case they were flat.

They were all of a black color and their incised ornamentation was practically the same as those from the upper cities.

On the outside, just below the rim, are the four incised parallel lines mentioned.

Not only were the products greatly similar, but the same style of geometric decoration by incised lines is common to both.
