A bulbous, tan glass vessel flares at its short neck, widening toward the rim. The opaque surface is matte and pitted, mottled with small dark spots. Encircling the body's center, a thick, raised trail of glass winds in a continuous, wavy zigzag. This textured application stands out against the earthy form, which transitions from light to dark tan across the rounded base.
