A pale grayish-green stoneware vessel swells into a bulbous, lobed base that rises to a tall, cylindrical neck. This neck terminates in three conjoined vertical openings rimmed in dark brown glaze. A delicate web of dark crackle lines traces the glossy surface, flowing over the rounded sections. The reflective glaze highlights the geometric profile of its triple-mouthed top, contrasting with the soft, organic curves of the base.
