A stoneware saucer tapers from a wide, flared rim into a dark, unglazed base. A muted olive-green glaze cloaks the vessel, patterned with a delicate web of fine cracks. A thin ridge traces the outer edge, while small brown spots dapple the lower exterior. The glaze terminates abruptly, accentuating the contrast between the pale, crackled surface and the dark, earthy clay below.
