A wide, cylindrical stoneware vessel features a rough, granular ash glaze. Warm orange-brown hues transition into deep reddish-orange tones near the base. The exterior is pitted with tiny craters and light-colored specks, with horizontal ridges encircling the lower walls. Small, greenish-gray glaze patches scatter across the surface. A thick, irregular rim crowns the vessel, which rests on a wide, flat base.
