A ceramic vessel takes an elongated ovoid shape, tapering into a short neck with a flared rim. Glossy streaks of yellow and forest-green glaze run vertically down its sides. Large, dark teal crystalline formations resembling blooms scatter across the surface, clustering toward the lower left. A fine network of small cracks, or crazing, webs across the entire shiny surface. Light catches the vessel's center, emphasizing its smooth, rounded volume.
