Some sanding
Notes:
For an illustrated pot without the loop handle see Donnelly, P.J. (1969). Blanc de Chine. Faber, p.117, pl.66A. Donnelly notes that the jar in pl.66A "has stumpy little handles which look as though they were going to be the foundation for a overhead loop but the potter had second thoughts".
