A porcelain vessel features a long, narrow cylindrical neck and a wide, compressed globular body. The smooth, matte surface is glazed in a uniform pale blue, catching soft light on its curves. Its symmetrical silhouette is emphasized by a dark background. At the very bottom, a thin, unglazed white foot ring is visible where the glaze meets the base.
