It shows narrow horizontal wheel-turned lines inside and out and is covered with an ivory-coloured slightly grey-tinged translucent glaze of smooth texture forming characteristic 'tear' marks below the rim and at the lower part tending to a greenish tint.
The interior has five tiny spur marks.
The unglazed stem shows the near white body and is encircled by two double raised ribs.
