An off-white glazed stoneware vessel forms a nearly spherical body with a slightly irregular, undulating surface. Horizontal ridges texture the white slip, revealing muted pinkish undertones and fine dark speckles. The jar features a small, flared rim and tapers to a thick, circular foot. Dark gray and brown markings streak the base, accentuating the vessel's weathered, earthy character.
