Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Mold, accession number 3-22549, described as molde" mold for making constricted mouth water jars. jar shaped, fired earthen ware height 24.6 cm x diameter at lip 10.2 cm. Original numbers 1-6 in accession 1354 were collected in the village of San Jose Tateposco, Jalisco, Mexico. They were used by a family of that village in the production of cantaros (constricted mouth water jars). The cantaro is the pottery form most characteristic of the village; its method of production is clearly and completely described by Paul Taylor, "Making of Cantaros at San Jose Tateposco, Jalisco, Mexico." This is a mold over which clay is shaped in order to form the cantaro. After being shaped over this mold, the half-formed cantaro is allowed to dry for a short time. Then it is placed, open end up, on a pottery base (yagual) of appropriate size; the potter then builds up the neck and rim of the vessel by circling round and round the base. This "molde" is indentical in shape and firing with the cantaro which is the finished product. It differs from the cantaro only in being slightly thicker and heavier, and in the fact that the base of the cantaro is flattened rather than rounded.

See 3-22549 for fuller description.
