A glass vessel with a dark, matte charcoal-gray body tapers from a wide shoulder to a small rounded base. Two loop handles flank the upper body below a flared neck. Horizontal yellow bands encircle the neck and lower section, framing a wide central band where white and yellow wavy lines create a feathered pattern. Light patches mark the weathered surface of the vertical vessel.
