A bulbous, olive-green stoneware jar tapers into a narrow base, featuring a short neck and flared rim. Two small, vertical loop handles sit atop the shoulders. Grainy textures mottle the rounded body, where long glaze drips streak vertically, bleeding toward the bottom. Earth-toned patches of gray emerge through the muted surface, as subtle horizontal striations extend around the heavy, curved form.
