A teardrop-shaped porcelain vessel features a narrow, dark brown neck and a white flared rim. Ringing the shoulder, a blue band with vertical stripes sits above a red band with gold floral patterns. Two tan drums with central gold discs and dark scalloped edges decorate the white body, encircled by braided red cords. One drum overlaps the other to our left. A solid red ring forms the base.
