Storage/display:  private collection of Michael Welch

Seal type:  none

Notes:  This handle belongs to an Incised-Handle Cooking Pot, though instead of the 2-stroke pre-fired Plus Mark, it only has a single stroke.  It also has a 7-symbol post-fired inscription, nearly identical in construction to the 6-symbol inscription on the Welch #40 handle (the V symbol in the middle is inverted, & the symbol next to the sideways T is different).  According to Michael Welch, these 2 handles were acquired from different dealers many years apart, which lowers the probability that they are modern forgeries.
