A turquoise faience vessel features a rounded body narrowing into a flared neck. The bright blue surface is mottled with tan and cream patches and covered in a dense network of fine, hair-like cracks. The vessel sits on a short, circular base, and a small chip is missing from the right side of the upper rim.
