Buff earthenware, thrown, the interior and rim coated with cream slip, incised, and coloured in green, brownish-yellow, and manganese-brown, under lead-glaze; the exterior lead-glazed brownish-yellow; base unglazed. Circular with a narrow sloping rim, and deep curved sides, standing on a disk base. The well is decorated with a stylized plant springing from a point on the shoulder.
