This bulbous fritware vessel tapers from a rounded body into a short, straight neck and a small flared foot. A single handle loops from the rim to the shoulder. Cobalt-blue lines create an interlocking lattice of teardrop shapes over a white glaze, each housing a mustard-yellow floral motif. A band of yellow scrolls circles the neck between blue borders. Delicate cracks vein the surface, and a blue stripe rings the base.
