A cream ceramic vessel features a bulbous body and a red-brown stirrup handle, the center from which protrudes a vertical spout. Red-brown molded and painted designs decorate the body, depicting a figure with a beak-like nose and large eye reaching toward a large fish with patterned scales and a flared tail. The vessel shows signs of age, with worn and faded patches across its surface.
