The outside is inlaid in black and white slip with four chrysanthemum medallions set in a band of foliage scrolls between a simplified scroll border and a band of lotus petals. The glaze is greyish-green and on the outside unevenly applied. The base shows three quartzite spur-marks and adhering kiln dust.
