Thickly potted with a flared rim above a waisted neck carved with raised string bands that repeat in the foot area below a pattern of flower heads and vertical stripes carved into the fabric and colored in iron brown to contrast with the celadon-tinged glaze on the exterior walls and portions of the interior, the flat base unglazed and showing traces of five large spur marks.
